Found Objects

This message was in the glove compartment of our rented car. It is written on two envelopes, probably by someone from Sweden.

1.

19.9. 10 o'clock AM

Help!!!

We have epty batteri (car) and can not start! Our position is N 64 42' 34" W 16 29' 00". This is the road to Hveragil. Almost at the end of the road about 34km from this Hut. In the place where the road is crossing the stream. We need starting cable to connect your car batteri with our bat. Our car has automatic transmission.

Right now one lady is walking to the bridge over Jökulsá and to the road F88 Askjavegur to try catch some car. She will continue to the Herðubreidlindir hut. One man is going back to the our car ont the Hveragil Road.

Then the note stops abruptly. From the fact that it was in the car, I assume the poor Swedes found their way home in the end.
