And with that the forecastle captain sprang down on the gangway, and knocking men off into the waist in his impetuous rush, swung his battle-axe round his head and aimed a terrific blow at Osmund Hooknose. Quick as lightning Osmund raised his shield and thrust at his foe with his sword.
"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.
He concealed the instruments of his calling, came forth with an assured air, and bade defiance to the messenger, the Censor, the Secretary, and Little Hooknose himself. After a struggle he was secured. His room was searched; and at first sight no evidence of his guilt appeared. But behind the bed was soon found a door which opened into a dark closet.
Already Thorkel's men were pouring on board Estein's ship, with Osmund of the Hooknose at their heels.

In a loud tone he bade his men cease rowing, and then, clapping his hand to his mouth, asked in a voice that had a ring of scornful command what name the captain bore.
