to be there that winter, and Kari took his
offer. Then they were atoned with a full atonement.
Then Flosi gave away his brother's daughter Hildigunna, whom
Hauskuld the priest of Whiteness had had to wife to Kari, and
they dwelt first of all at Broadwater.
Men say that the end of Flosi's life was, that he fared abroad,
when he had grown old, to seek for timber to build him a hall;
and he was in Norway that winter, but the next summer he was late
"boun"; and men told him that his ship was not seaworthy.
Flosi said she was quite good enough for an old and deathdoomed
man, and bore his goods on shipboard and put out to sea. But of
that ship no tidings were ever heard.
These were the children of Kari Solmund's son and Helga Njal's
daughter -- Thorgerda and Ragneida, Valgerda, and Thord who was
burnt in Njal's house. But the children of Hildigunna and Kari,
were these, Starkad, and Thord, and Flosi.
The son of Burning-Flosi was Kolbein, who has been the most
famous man of any of that stock.
And here we end the STORY of BURNT NJAL.
