King Harald and his men followed the fugitives only a short way,
and rowed back to the place where the deserted ships lay. Then the
battle-place was ransacked, and in King Svein's ship was found a heap
of dead men; but the king's body was not found, although people believed
for certain that he had fallen. Then King Harald had the greatest
attention paid to the dead of his men, and had the wounds of the living
bound up. The dead bodies of Svein's men were brought to the land, and
he sent a message to the peasants to come and bury them. Then he let
the booty be divided, and this took up some time. The news came now that
King Svein had come to Seeland, and that all who had escaped from the
battle had joined him, along with many more, and that he had a great
force.
