ed whether he would take any
amends from the Earl or not.

"I will take them," said Helgi, "from his son Eric, but I will have
nothing to do with the Earl."

Then Kari told Eric their answer.

"So it shall be," says Eric. "He shall take the amends from me if he
thinks it better; and tell them this too, that I bid them to my house,
and my father shall do them no harm."

This bidding they took, and went to Eric's house, and were with him till
Kari was ready to sail west across the sea to meet Earl Sigurd.

Then Eric made a feast for Kari, and gave him gifts, and Njal's sons
gifts too. After that Kari fared west across the sea, and met Earl
Sigurd, and he greeted them very well, and they were with the Earl that
winter.

But when the spring came, Kari asked Njal's sons to go on warfare with
him, but Grim said they would only do so if he would fare with them
afterwards out to Iceland. Kari gave his word to do that, and then they
fared with him a-sea-roving. They harried south about Anglesea and all
the Southern isles. Thence they held on to Cantyre, and landed there,
and fought with the landsmen, and got thence much goods, and so fared to
their ships. Thence they fared south to Wales, and harried there. Then
they held on for Man, and there they met Godred, and fought with him,
and got the victory, and slew Dungal the king's son. There they took
great spoil. Thence they held on north to Coll, and found Earl Gilli
there, and he greeted them well, and there they stayed with him a while.
The Earl fared with them to the Orkneys to meet Earl Sigurd, but next
spring Earl Sigurd gave away his sister Nereida to Earl Gilli, and then
he fared back to the Southern isles.

CHAPTER LXXXIX.

NJAL'S SONS AND KARI COME OUT TO ICELAND.

That summer Kari and Njal's sons busked them for Iceland, and when they
were "all-boun" they went to see the Earl. The Earl gave them good
gifts, and they parted with great friendship.

Now they put to sea and have a short passage, and they got a fine fair
breeze, and made the land at Eyrar. Then they got them horses and ride
from the ship to Bergthorsknoll, but when they came home all men were
glad to see them. They flitted home their goods and laid up the ship,
and Kari was there that winter with Njal.

But the spring after, Kari asked for Njal's daughter, Helga, to wife,
and Helgi and Grim backed his suit; and so the end of it was that she
was betrothed to Kari, and the day for the wed
