1 - 2 from 2
It is said that on this return voyage Harald's vessel entered a worm-sea and presently began to sink. They had, however, provided a smaller boat smeared with sea-oil, which the worms would not attack. They went into the boat, but found that it would not hold more than half of them all. Then Harald said, "We will divide by lots, without regard to the rank; each taking his chance with the rest."
Thomas Wentworth Higginson - Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic
The man went into the boat, and Bjarni back into the ship; and it is said that Bjarni perished there in the Worm-sea, and they who were with him in the ship; but the boat and those who were in it went on their journey until they reached land, and told this story afterwards. The next summer Karlsefni set out for Iceland, and Snorri with him, and went home to his house in Reynines.
