In briefanswer capsule

Hendor serves in Idril’s household as a house-carle. During the flight after Gondolin he bears the child Eärendel on his shoulders among men of the Wing. Wolf-riders break that small guard and nearly leave him alone with his charge. Tuor brings fifty less weary men, sets them in a crescent of one rank, and cuts the riders off so that only two get away without beasts. Eärendel tells his father he had run far and Hendor need not have carried him.
