there wished to go into the boat, though it could not hold all of
them; therefore, they accepted the plan to cast lots who should leave
the ship for the boat. And the lot so fell that Bjarni, and nearly
half the men with him, were chosen for the boat. So then those left
the ship and went into the boat who had been chosen by lot so to do.
And when the men were come into the boat, a young man, an Icelander,
who had been a fellow-traveller of Bjarni, said, “Dost thou intend,
Bjarni, to separate thyself here from me.” “It must needs be so now,”

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.

winter. But when she found that Gudrid was a lady without peer, she
went home, and their intercourse was happy. The daughter of Snorri,
Karlsefni's son, was Hallfrid, mother of Bishop Thorlak, the son of
Runolf. (Hallfrid and Runolf) had a son, whose name was Thorbjorn; his
daughter was Thorun, mother of Bishop Bjarn. Thorgeir was the name of
a son of Snorri, Karlsefni's son; he was father of Yngvild, the mother
