[All]: Saxo (2005, II, 29, 3, pp. 314-15) also gives a vivid description of Sigurðr’s attempt to foil his enemies. According to him, Sigurðr jumped into the ocean and pulled off his clothes while under water. He tried to stay under as long as possible to make his enemies believe that he had drowned, but he finally had to come up for air. Exhausted from the cold, he was clinging to the rudder of a ship when he was discovered and captured.
