CROSSING BLEAK LABRADOR
APRIL, 1907

One of the most interesting smoke talks of the season was that on "Crossing Bleak Labrador,'' by Mr. Dillon Wallace, Saturday evening, March 16. Mr. Wallace, who was the companion of Leonidas Hubbard four years ago in the expedition in which Mr. Hubbard through insufficient preparation and lack of food,lost his life, gave a most interesting address, describing in general the country itself and narrating in detail his own experience in 1905, in behalf of the Outing Magazine. The objects of this successful exploration were to examine the old Indian trail which runs from the post at Hamilton Inlet to the interior, to find the source of the George River, and to make new maps of the region. Mr. Wallace illustrated his talk with excellent lantern slides made from photographs taken by himself.
