[ 21 ] Orn endeavoured all he could to diflu ade him from it, but ill vain, faying, that he knew of no veflel bound to that part of the world. Scarce had thofe words dropped from his lips when Gunbild entered ; now I perceive, faid fhe, addrefling herfelf to Olaf, what as yet never ftruck me, that you and Orn are not agreed on the point in queftion. Having paid his due refpedts to Gunbild, he acknowledged the truth of the remark, and as foon as Orn retired,, he repeated the with he had already difclofed to the captain, adding how much it concerned him, as Mirkeartan, king of Ireland, was his grandfather. Then, faid Gunhild, I fhall do every thing in my power to enable you to undertake this voyage, as you wifh to perform it with all the becoming dignity imaginable. In confequence of which, Gunhild gave orders to fit out a fliip with all convenient fpeed, and to man it with as many fai- lors as Olaf fhould think proper to chufe, which was fixty, as he faid his wifh was, that they might rather have the appearance of war than merchandize. This being granted, Olaf and Orn were appointed captains of the whole, which was remarkably brilliant. Harald and Gunhild accompanied him on board, and having allured him of the difpofition of their friendfhip and fortune towards him, complimented him in many particulars, afferting that as long as they could remember, none had come from Iceland more gallant than he. The king having afked his age, was ftruck with furprize to find he was only eighteen, declaring, that although he was fcarce above his childhood, his figure, and mental and perfonal accomplifhments, entitled him to the liigheft efteem.
