[2-4] ek hygg, at fjölkyngi Finns valdi feiknaveðri ‘I think that a Saami’s wizardry caused the baleful weather’: Magical powers are ascribed to Saami (Finnar) in many Old Norse texts (cf. Nesheim 1970, 7-14). Ketill has sailed to the north when the storm arises which blows him to the north of Finnmark. His surmise about the origin of the storm is thus a logical one in the context of the saga (ch. 3).
