Egil in the summer made ready his merchant-ship and got thereto a crew.
But the long-ship that he had brought from Denmark in the autumn he gave to
Thorstein at parting.
Thorstein gave Egil good gifts, and they pledged them to close friendship.
Egil sent messengers to Thord, his wife's kinsman, at Aurland,
and gave him charge to arrange for those lands that Egil owned in Sogn and Hordaland, bidding him sell them if there were a buyer.
And when Egil was ready for his voyage, they sailed out along the bay,
and then northwards along the Norway coast, and afterwards out into the main.
They had a fairly good breeze, and came from the main into Borgar-firth;
and Egil steered his ship up the firth to the haven close to his own house.
He had his cargo conveyed home, and his ship set up on wooden props.
Egil went home to his house: fain were folk to see him;
and there he stayed for that winter.
