On October 18, Wallace and Elson went in a search of cached store of flour, leaving Hubbard behind in a tent. Shipwrecked alone on an uncharted island, explore, adapt and navigate the land and perilous seas to stay alive. After a hard, long portaging and almost reaching Michikamau Lake, with food supplies running out, on September 15 at Windbound lake, they decided to turn back. Instead of ascending the Naskaupi River, by mistake they followed the shallow Susan Brook. Ill-fated expedition įrom the start (departing North West River on July 15), the expedition was beset with mistakes and problems.
