KING Olaf possessed two valuable aids, one of which was a horse of great strength and swiftness, the other a shepherd-dog of extraordinary sagacity and faithfulness. The latter be obtained from a peasant as a reward for restoring a herd of cows whteh Olaf's forces captured in a foray in Ireland. This dog proved himself valorous as well as faithful and on more than one occasion carried consternation into the ranks of the King's enemies, who seem to have regarded the animal superstitiously. So affectionately was this dog, called Vige, attached to King Olaf, that when he learned of his master's death it is said the poor animal shed tears and repairing to a funeral mound refused every temptation to remove therefrom and there remained whining his wail of broken-hearted distress until he died.
