Egil had now been several winters at Borg with his father,
when one summer a ship from Norway to Iceland with these tidings from the east,
that Bjorn Yeoman was dead. Further,
it was told that all the property owned by Bjorn had been taken up by Bergonund,
his son-in-law, who had moved to his own home all loose chattels,
letting out the lands, and securing to himself all the rents.
He had also got possession of all the farms occupied of late by Bjorn.
This when Egil heard,
he inquired carefully whether Bjorn had acted on his own counsel in this matter,
or had the support of others more powerful.
It was told him that Onund was become a close friend of king Eric,
but was on even more intimate terms with Gunnhilda.
Egil let the matter rest for this autumn;
but when winter was past and spring came,
then Egil bade them draw out his ship,
which had stood in the shed at Long-river-foss.
This ship he made ready for sea, and got a crew thereto.
Asgerdr his wife was to go with him,
but Thordis Thorolf's daughter remained behind.
Egil sailed out to sea when he was ready,
and of his voyage there is nothing to tell before he came to Norway.
He at once, as soon as he could, went to seek Arinbjorn.
Arinbjorn received him well, and asked Egil to stay with him;
this offer he took. So both he and Asgerdr went thither and several men with them.
