The Rescue Of Steinvor Slim-ankles.
There was a man named Thorarin Alfsson, who lived in the north at Thambardal; that is a dale which goes up from the fiord called Bitra.
He was a big man and mighty, and he was by-named Thorarin the Strong.

He had spent much of his time in seafaring (as a chapman) and so lucky was he that he always made the harbour he aimed at.
He had three sons; one was named Alf, the next Loft, and the third Skofti.

Thorarin was a most overbearing man, and his sons took after him.

They were rough, noisy fellows.
Not far away, at Tunga (Tongue) in Bitra, lived a man called Odd.
