After that they made them ready to go up, and they came to the town.
But when the townsmen were aware of the enemy's coming,
they made against them. A wooden wall was round the town;
they set men to guard this. A very fierce battle was there fought.
Egil, with his following, charged fiercely on the gate nor spared himself.
There was a great slaughter, the townsmen falling one upon another.
It is said that Egil first entered the town, the others following.
Then those of the town fled, and great was the slaughter.
But Thorolf and his company plundered the town and took much wealth,
and fired the buildings before they left. Then they went down to their ships.
