All through the summer Kveldulf and Skallagrim kept a look-out shorewards
on the highway of vessels.
Skallagrim was very sharp-sighted.
He saw Hallvard's company sailing by, and he knew the ship,
for he had seen it before when Thorgils went with it. Skallagrim watched their course,
and where they lay to in haven at eventide.
Then he went back to his own people,
and told Kveldulf what he had seen, and withal how he had recognised the ship,
being that which once was Thorolf's, and was taken by Hallvard from Thorgils,
and doubtless there were some men on board who would be worth catching.

So they made them ready with both their boats,
and twenty men in each. Kveldulf steered one,
Skallagrim the other.
Then they rowed and made for the ship.
But when they came where it lay,
they put in to land.
