[ »7 ] facred, adding withal that he did not think it proper to relin- quifh his property without farther neceffity. The Irifh, hearing this, prepared to attack the veffel, with an universal fhout; for this purpofe they proceeded toward her, with an intent to draw her on fhore, as the water was not deeper than their arm-pits, or the girdle of the talleft. The place, however, where the veffel rode, was deep enough to keep her afloat. At the inftance of Olaf his companions feized their arms, and ranged them along the lides, betwixt the ftem and the ftern, which they covered with fhields, forming, as it were, a kind of breaft-work, or parapet, the inferior part of which was filled with fpears, for the purpofe of being in readinefs. This being done, Olaf afcended the prow, arrayed in a gor- get, his head inverted with a gilded helm, and a gold hilted fword by his fide, with a lance in his hand, formed hookwife, as vvell for rtabbing as cutting ; the fhield with which he co- vered his breaft, was blazoned with a lion of gold. On beholding this, the Irifh were ftruck with amazement, as through this they loft all hope of their booty, which they flat- tered themfelves could be attained without any difficulty ; on this they refumed their former fituation, convinced that the veffel could be nothing lefs than a man of war, belonging to fome fleet which might foon be expedfed; in confequence of this opinion, a report was inftantly difpatched to the king with in- telligence of the whole. His majefty at the time happened to be at a banquet in the neigh- bourhood; having fet off, as foon as he received the meffage, imme- diately to the aflembly, which was at that time letting not far from where the fhip lay, fo that one party could hear the other with eafe.
