hey had paid any money either for the
land or for the drift which Flosi claimed. The Lawman was Thorkell Mani,
and the question was referred to him. He declared that by law something
must have been paid, though not necessarily the full value.

"There was a case in point," he said, "between my grandfather Ingolf and
a woman named Steinvor the Old. He gave her the whole of Rosmhvalanes
and she gave him a dirty cloak for it; the transfer was afterwards held
to be valid. That was a much more important affair than this. My advice
is that the land be divided in equal portions between the two; and
henceforward it shall be legally established that all drift shall be the
property of the owner of the land upon which it has been stranded."

This was agreed to. Thorgrim and his brothers were to give up
Reykjarfjord with all on that side, and were to keep Kamb. For Ofeig
a large sum of money was paid, and Thorfinn was assessed at nothing at
all; Thorgeir received compensation for the attack made upon his life,
and all the parties were reconciled. Flosi went to Norway with Steinn
the captain and sold his lands in Vik to Geirmund Hvikatimbr, who lived
there thenceforward.

The ship which Steinn's sailors had built was rather a tub. She was
called Trekyllir--Tree-sack. Flosi went on his journey in her, but
was driven back to Oxarfjord; out of this arose the saga of Bodmod the
Champion and Grimolf.

CHAPTER XIII. THORGRIM SETTLES AT BJARG AND MARRIES. HIS SON ASMUND
VISITS NORWAY AND MARRIES TWICE

After these events Thorgrim and his brothers divided up the property
between them. Thorgrim took the movable property and Thorgeir the lands.
Then Thorgrim went inland to Midfjord and bought some land at Bjarg
with the aid of Skeggi. He married Thordis, the daughter of Asmund
from Asmund's peak who had land in Thingeyrasveit. They had a son named
Asmund, a great man and strong, also wise, and notable for his abundance
of hair, which turned grey very early. He was called Longhair.

Thorgrim occupied himself with the management of his estate and kept all
the men of his household hard at work. Asmund did not want to work,
so that he and his father got on rather badly together. This continued
until Asmund was grown up, when he asked his father to give him the
means to go abroad. Thorgrim said he should have little enough, but he
gave him some ready cash. So Asmund went away and soon increased his
capital. He sailed to divers lands,
