37. LEVY AGAINST OLAF IN THRONDHJEM.

Einar Tambaskelfer had a farm and house at Husaby in Skaun; and now when

he got news of Olaf's proceedings, he immediately split up a war-arrow,

and sent it out as a token to the four quarters--north, south, east,

west,--to call together all free and unfree men in full equipment of

war: therewith the message, that they were to defend the land against

King Olaf. The message-stick went to Orkadal, and thence to Gaulardal,

where the whole war-force was to assemble.
