gange i land, én gang for at hente vand og to gange
for at lave maden til, og den, tilføjes der, som gaar sidst

men da kokken skulde koge for mandskabet, gik han
paa land for at faa kjedelen hos den anden, og da
havde denne ikke endnu stampet (fafdan) sin grød, men
rørte fremdeles i kjedelen. Ærgerlig over hans sendræg-
tighed og da Nordmændene ombord raabte, at de vilde
have mad, tog kokken kjedelen og heldte grøden ud,
hvorfor den anden slog ham paa halsen med tvaren

Medens det hidtil er omtalt, hvad der med visse
undtagelser gjaldt for alle farkoster, gaar jeg dernæst
over til at omhandle de forskjellige slags og hvad der
var eget for hvert af dem.
De mindste vare baadene (båtr). Af disse er kena
vistnok kun et poetisk navn, og pramen (pråmr) og eken
(eikja) dannede undtagelser fra alle vore gamle farkoster
derved, at de udentvil ligesom endnu vare uden kjøl
og ret afskaarne i agterenden. Blandt de andre egentlige
baade var den saakaldte mökkvi udentvil mindst og for-
modentlig kun med to aarer (årt). Efter disses mængde
fik baaden navn men altid med jevnt tal, saaledes fireaaret
(nu fering), sexaaret (sexæringr) o. s. v. indtil tolvaaret
(tolfæringr). Dette er det største aaretal, som træffes i
en baad. Aarerne bevægedes ikke mellem tollepinde, men
som paa Nydamsbaaden og endnu vesten- og nordenfjelds
mellem et krumtre eller en keip (Æeipr) og et dertil fæstet
baand af vidje eller taug, hamlebaand (hamla, hömluband).
Breden af baaden var neppe større, end at én mand til
nød kunde ro med to aarer. Roningen foregik siddende?),
og for hvert par aarer var der en gjennemgaaende tofte

other Icelander went ashore taking the cooking caldron

as the cook had to. dress food for the crew, he went
ashore to get the caldron from the other, and found that
the latter had not yet beaten up (paföan) but was

While hitherto we have dealt solely in matters which,
with certain exceptions, may be held applicable to ves-

sels of different kinds and the peculiarities of each of
them.
