seven o’clock in the evening
Hobson intended to encamp for the night at Washburn Bay . When there eighteen miles would have been traversed , and , if he were not mistaken , half his circular journey would be accomplished . After a few hours ' repose he meant to return to Fort Hope along the western coast . No fresh incident marked the exploration of the short distance between Walruses ' Bay and Washburn Bay , and at seven o'clock in the evening the spot chosen for the encampment was reached . A similar change had taken place here . Of Washburn Bay , nothing remained but the curve formed by the coast-line of the island , and which was once its northern boundary . It stretched away without a break for seven miles to the cape they had named Cape Michael .
