With a fair wind they sailed north to Vik;
there again they fell in with a large merchant-ship belonging to men of Vik,
laden with malt and meal. For this ship they made; but those on board,
deeming they had no means of defence, yielded, and were disarmed and put on shore,
and Thorolf's men, taking the ship and its cargo, went on their way.
Thorolf had now three ships, with which he sailed westwards by Fold.
Then they took the high road of the sea to Lidandisness, going with all despatch,
but making raid and lifting cattle on ness and shore.
Northwards from Lidandisness they held a course further out,
but pillaged wherever they touched land. But when Thorolf came over against the Firths,
then he turned his course inward, and went to see his father Kveldulf,
and there they were made welcome.
Thorolf told his father what had happened in his summer voyage;
he stayed there but a short time,
and Kveldulf and his son Grim accompanied him to the ship.
