"And what are we to do now ?" asked AEda.

"Be not troubled, AEda," said Eisirt, "the horse of Iubdan will bear us easily over this." They waited awhile on the beach, and ere long they saw it coming toward them skimming over the surface of the waves.

"Save and protect us!" cried AEda at that sight; and Eisirt asked him what he saw.

"A red-maned hare," answered AEda.
"Nay, but that is Iubdan's horse," said Eisirt, and with that the creature came prancing to land with flashing eyes and waving tail and a long russet-coloured mane; a bridle beset with gold it had.

Eisirt mounted and bade AEda come up behind him.
