To Grim the Halogalander he gave dwelling-place south of Borgar-firth, on the shore named Hvann-
eyrr. A little beyond this a bay of no great size cuts into the land. There they found many ducks,
wherefore they called it Duck-kyle, and the river that fell into the sea there Duck-kyle-river. From this
river to the river called Grims-river, the land stretching upwards between them Grim had. That same
spring, as Skallagrim had his cattle driven inwards along the sea, they came to a small ness where they
caught some swans, so they called it Swan-ness. Skallagrim gave land to his shipmates. The land
between Long-river and Hafs-brook he gave to Ani, who dwelt at Anabrekka. His son was Aunund
Sjoni. About this was the controversy of Thorstein and Tongue Odd.

Grani dwelt at Granastead on Digraness. To Thorbjorn Krum he gave the land by Gufu-river upward,
and to Thord of Beigaldi. Krum dwelt at Krums-hills, but Thord at Beigaldi. To Thorir Giant and his
brothers he gave land upwards from Einkunnir and the outer part by Long-river. Thorir Giant dwelt at
Giantstead. His daughter was Thordis Staung, who afterwards dwelt at Stangerholt. Thorgeir dwelt at
Earthlongstead.

Skallagrim spied out the land upwards all round the country-side. First he went inwards along the
Borgar-firth to its head; then followed the west bank of the river, which he called White-river, because
he and his companions had never before seen waters that fell out of glaciers, and the colour of the river
seemed to them wonderful.

They went up along White-river till a river was before them coming down from the fells to the north;
this they called North-river. And they followed it up till yet again before them was a river bringing
down but little water. This river they crossed, and still went up along North-river; then they soon saw
where the little river fell out of a cleft, and they called it Cleave-river. Then they crossed North-river,
and went back to White-river, and followed that upwards. Soon again a river crossed their way, and
fell into White-river; this they called Cross-river. They learnt that every river was full of fish. After
this they returned to Borg.

Chapter 29 - Of Skallagrim’s industry.
Skallagrim was most industrious. He had about him always many men, whom he set to seek diligently
all such provisions as could be got there for man’s sustenance, because at first they had but little live-
stock compared with the needs of their numerous company. But what live-stock they had went every
winter self-feeding in the woods.

Skallagrim was a good shipwright, and westwards of Myrar was no lack of driftwood. He had
buildings set up on Swan-ness, and had another house there. This he made a starting-point for sea-
fishing, seal-hunting, and egg-gathering; in all these kinds there was plenty of provisions to get, as
well as driftwood to bring to him. Whales also often came in there, and whoso would might shoot
them. All such creatures were then tame on the hunting-ground, as they were unused to man. His third
house he had on the sea in Western Myrar. This was even a better place to look out for driftwood.

There, too, he had land sown, and called it Acres. Over against it lay islands, among which whales
were found; these they called Whale-islands.

Skallagrim also sent his men up on the salmon-rivers to fish. He set Odd Lonehouse by Cleave-river to
see to the salmon-fishing there. Odd dwelt under Lonehouse. Lonehouse-ness has its name from him.
Sigmund was the name of the man whom Skallagrim set by North-river; he dwelt at what was then
called Sigmundstead, but now Hauga. Sigmundar-ness takes its name from him. He afterwards moved
his homestead to Munodar-ness, that being thought more convenient for salmon-fishing.
