The witch took hold of her and pulled off all her fine clothes that she then put it on herself. Covering Gulliveig with a dirty old cloak, the witch pushed her into the stone boat and with a shove set the boat sailing back from whence it came from. Before long the boat was quite out of sight.
Before long the boat was quite out of sight. As soon as the stone boat was longer visible, Agnar began to cry. the witch tried to hush the baby the baby but he just kept on wailing and in the end Sigurd awoke and came up on desk to see what was the matter.
The witch had taken on a human form so Sigurd did not notice anything amiss although he was astonished when the supposed princess spoke to him in great anger, complaining that Sigurd should not have left her alone. She had never raised her voice to him before, but he was so busy trying to calm Agnar that he thought no more of it.
When they finally sailed into port it was to be greeted with the sad news the sad news that the old king had died. Sigurd was crowned king in his place and he set about restoring his kingdom to happiness. All went all except that Agnar hardly stopped crying from morn to night, though he had been such a good child before. Sigurd decided the child needed a nurse and as soon as she took over looking after him, Agnar stopped crying.
After a while it seemed to Sigurd that his princess, who was now a queen has changed towards him since the voyage. He began to think that perhaps he had not made a good choice of wife after all. She was always grumpy and spiteful and spent a great deal of time locked away in her own room
The nurse looked after Agnar as though he was her own and she could help but notice that the boy always cried whenever the queen was near. But she kept quiet about this. Then one evening as she was putting Agnar to bed there was a flash of pure white light and a great hole opened up in the floor. A beautiful woman, dressed all in white with great iron chain around her waist rose up through the hole and carried Agnar in her arms and covered him with kisses, tears rolling down her face all the while . Then she sank back through the floor that closed up behind her.
