.

The Songs That Were Made About The Fight.
Steinar was the name of a man who was the son of Onund the Seer, and brother of Dalla, Cormac's mother.

He was an unpeaceful man, and lived at Ellidi.
Thither rode Cormac from the holme, to see his kinsman, and told him of the fight, at which he was but ill pleased.

Cormac said he meant to leave the country,--"And I want thee to take the money to Bersi." "Thou art no bold man," said Steinar, "but the money shall be paid if need be." Cormac was there some nights; his hand swelled much, for it was not dressed.
