Nor need it be said how Sidroc greeted me after that escape.

He said that Heidrek's men had thrust a spear into his hand and hustled him over the bows to take his chance with the rest, unarmed save with that.
Thereafter, Hakon found mail and helm and sword for him, which had come from the spoils, and he was happy.

Nor was I any the less comfortable on board for having him to tend myself and Bertric.

But that is of course.
From him we learned two things--one which Asbiorn had not yet told us, and the other which he also would learn.

Heidrek had fled from us thinking that the ships could be only those of Sigtryg, the Dublin king, with whom he had some deadly feud.
