Nor was it treacherous of Fridleif to recruit the failing valour of his men with the aid of a dog.

In this war Amund fell; and his servant Ane, surnamed the Archer, challenged Fridleif to fight him; but Biorn, being a man of meaner estate, not suffering the king to engage with a common fellow, attacked him himself.

And when Biorn had bent his bow and was fitting the arrow to the string, suddenly a dart sent by Ane pierced the top of the cord.

Soon another arrow came after it and struck amid the joints of his fingers.

A third followed, and fell on the arrow as it was laid to the string.
