But when Skallagrim heard of Yngvar's coming,
he at once went to meet him and bade him
to his house with as many men as he would.
Yngvar accepted this offer. The ship was drawn up,
and Yngvar went to Borg with many men,
and stayed that winter with Skallagrim.
In the spring Skallagrim offered him choice land.
He gave Yngvar the farm which he had on Swan-ness,
and land inwards to Mud-brook and outwards to Strome-firth.
Thereupon Yngvar went out to this farm and took possession,
and he was a most able man and a wealthy.

Skallagrim then built a house on Ship-ness,
and this he kept for a long time thereafter.
Skallagrim was a good iron-smith,
and in winter wrought much in red iron ore.
He had a smithy set up some way out from Borg,
close by the sea, at a place now called Raufar-ness.
The woods he thought were not too far from thence.
But since he could find no stone there so hard or
smooth as he thought good for hammering iron on
(for there are no beach pebbles,
the seashore being all fine sand),
one evening, when other were gone to sleep,
Skallagrim went to the sea, and pushed out
an eight-oared boat he had,
and rowed out to the Midfirth islands.
