''On the seventh day they reached the banks of the Iilimmurh by the white strand of Nendrem-Tinar, and there on the coast they settled to produce their ships. And Etherin was chosen their principal. And for sixty days they garnered wood in the forests along the white shore and thereof timbered their ships, by number twenty-four. From bow to tail they measured seven paces each of them, and twenty-one feet from one side to the other, and each of them might carry one hundred and forty-four men. They were made of bright pine’s timber, bearing a bond of white alike a wave from tail to nose on either side of their hull, widening in the beginning, reducing toward the prow, thus they both met there. And the women wove sail’s cloth by white thread, and every sail bore the shipmaster’s arms in its centre. The masts were made of sacred oak, and Thunnir hallowed them to Auol.'' | ''On the seventh day they reached the banks of the Iilimmurh by the white strand of Nendrem-Tinar, and there on the coast they settled to produce their ships.
