Note 30 — JÖKUL-RANGES AND VOLCANOES ON THE SOUTH COAST.

Mr. Brynjúlfsson had the following lines—intimating the hopelessness of searching for the treasure concealed below—repeated to him, when recently visiting the locality. They are thus literally rendered by him into English.

Hver sem thángad fyrsti fer Whosoever thither first goes

Fiflsku hefir nóga.” Foolishness has enough.”
