midnight
You hardly realize , no doubt , the great extent of this tremendous run from the Rockies to the sea . '' Meantime the boat had been continuing its progress steadily . It required about forty-five minutes to complete the run of the bolder part of the shores known as the Ramparts . Once below , there was to be seen , even in the faint midnight light , the scattered buildings of that far-northern post known as Good Hope . The boys , with all the rest of the passengers , went ashore here and prowled about the curious old place , examining with much interest the mission school , the church , and the garden . Rob was able to make a picture of the interior of the church , putting his camera on a pile of hymn-books and making a long-time exposure . The post trader told him later something of the history of this curious building which for some time had stood here upon the utmost borders of civilization .
