Egil called to him two thralls of Grim's. He bade them bring him a horse.
'I will go to the warm bath, and you shall go with me,'
said he.
And when Egil was ready, he went out,
and he had with him his chests of silver.
He mounted the horse.
They then went down through the home paddock
and under the slope there, as men saw afterwards.
But in the morning, when men rose,
they saw Egil wandering about in the holt east of the farm,
and leading the horse after him.
They went to him, and brought him home.
But neither thralls nor chests ever came back again,
and many are the guesses as to where Egil hid his money.
East of the farm at Moss-fell is a gill coming down from the fell:
and it is noteworthy that in rapid thaws there was a great rush of water there,
but after the water has fallen there have been found in the gill English pennies.
Some guess that Egil must have hidden his money there.
Below the farm enclosure at Moss-fell are bogs wide and very deep.
Many feel sure that 'tis there Egil hid his money.
And south of the river are hot springs, and hard by there large earthholes,
and some men guess that Egil must have hidden his money there,
because out that way cairn-fires were often seen to hover.
Egil said that he had slain Grim's thralls,
also that he had hidden the chests,
but where he had hidden them he told no man.

In the autumn following Egil fell sick of the sickness whereof he died.
When he was dead, then Grim had Egil dressed in goodly raiment,
and carried down to Tjalda-ness;
there a sepulchral mound was made,
and in it was Egil laid with his weapons and his raiment.
