Thorgeir said to Hildigunna, "This hand shall show thee Gunnar dead this very night".
"Nay, but I guess," says she, "that thou wilt hang thy head after ye two meet."
So those four, father and sons, fare away from the Threecorner, and eleven men besides, and they fared to Knafahills, and lay in wait there.
Sigurd Swinehead came to Sandgil and said, "Hither am I sent by Starkad and his sons to tell thee, Egil, that ye, father and sons, must fare to Knafahills to lie in wait for Gunnar".
"How many shall we fare in all?" says Egil.
"Fifteen, reckoning me," he says.
Kol said, "Now I mean to try my hand on Kolskegg".
"Then I think thou meanest to have a good deal on thy hands," says Sigurd.
Egil begged his Easterlings to fare with them. They said they had no quarrel with Gunnar; "and besides," says Thorir, "ye seem to need much help here, when a crowd of men shall go against three men".
Then Egil went away and was wroth.
