"He and his ill-looking crew make a mighty noise. Has any man heard of Liot Skulison or Osmund Hooknose before?" "Ay," answered Ulf. "They call them the bairn-slayers, because they show no mercy even to children." "They will meet with other than bairns to-day," said Helgi. Estein and Thorkel had been employed in binding the two vessels together with grapnels.
There are here two others besides ourselves who escaped the fate of Thorkel and our comrades, and they think they owe Liot something. Does revenge seem sweet?" "Then Liot is alive?" "Ay, Thor has spared him for us. The Orkney-man who led us to you has an ancient feud against the bairn-slayers, and he tells me Liot and his men are feasting at his dwelling. Shall we fall upon them to-night?"
