Then he rode to the south country, and of his travel 'tis to be told that he rode night
and day till he and his came westwards to Earls-ness.
Then the earl got a ship to take him southwards over the sea; and he came to France,
where half of his kin were.
He never after returned to England.Adils at first pursued the flying foe, but not far;
then he turned back to where the battle was, and made an onset there.
This when Thorolf saw, he said that Egil should turn and encounter him,
and bade the standard be borne that way; his men he bade hold well together and stand close.

'Move we to the wood,' said he,
'and let it cover our back,
so that they may not come
at us from all sides.'
They did so;
they followed along the wood.
Fierce was the battle there.
Egil charged against Adils,
and they had a hard fight of it.
The odds of numbers were great,
yet more of Adils'
men fell than of Egil's.
Then Thorolf became
so furious that he
cast his shield
on his back, and,
grasping his halberd
with both hands,
bounded forward
dealing cut and thrust
on either side.
Men sprang away from
him both ways,
but he slew many.
