"We could find our way in the dark, and they cannot tell where they are in this fog." So I and my men climbed on to the wharf, and there were the rest of the crew with Thormod, who had crossed the decks as we cleared a passage, even as the fog came down, and had driven the rest of the Jomsburgers away from the landing place before they could join those in the ship.

Well for us it was that he had done this, or we should have been overborne by numbers, for the ship was a large one, carrying maybe seven score men.
"We must leave your tired men with the ship and go carefully," said Thormod.

"Likely enough we shall have another fight." We marched up the well-known street four abreast, and as we left the waterside the fog was thinner, so that we could see the houses on either side of the way well enough.

And as we went we were joined by many of Ingvar's people, old men and boys mostly, who had been left at home when the fleet sailed.

And they told us that the Jomsburg men were round the great house itself.
Yet we could hear no sound of them, and that seemed strange, so that we feared somewhat, drawing together lest a rush on us were planned.
