Frithiof said: “This thing only somewhat urges us to peace, the good will of our kin departed; but no trustiness will those brethren show herein. But this condition I make, that our lands be in good peace while we are away.” So this was promised and all bound by oaths.
Then Frithiof arrays him for departing, and is captain of men brave and of good help, eighteen in company.
Now his men asked him if he would not go to King Helgi and make peace with him, and pray himself free from Baldur's wrath.
But he answered: “Hereby I swear that I will never pray Helgi for peace.”
Then he went aboard Ellidi, and they sailed out along the Sognnrth.
But when Frithiof was gone from home, King Halfdan spake to Helgi his brother: “Better lordship and more had we if Frithiof had payment for his masterful deed: now therefore let us burn his stead, and bring on him and his men such a storm on the sea as shall make an end of them.”
Helgi said it was a thing meet to be done.
So then they burned up clean all the stead at Foreness and robbed it of all goods; and after that sent for two witch-wives, Heidi and Hamglom, and gave them money to raise against Frithiof and his men so mighty a storm that they should all be lost at sea. So they sped the witch-song, and went up on the witch-mount with spells and sorcery.
