Mistakenly taking the Susan River instead of the Naskaupi the trip ended in tragedy. Hubbard died of exhaustion and starvation before they were to escape the interior of Labrador in October 1903. Wallace returned to New York in 1904 with Hubbard's body and obtaining the rights to use Hubbard's field notes, maps and photographs from his widow wrote Lure of the Labrador Wild. Released in 1905 the book became an instant best seller in the United States and Canada.
Mina Hubbard was not happy with the book. She thought it an unfair depiction of her late husband. Both Dillon Wallace and Mina Hubbard resolved to return to the Labrador to complete the unfulfilled objectives of the original expedition. The press depicted the two journeys as a race which Mina Hubbard won.
Wallace wrote up his second expedition in The Long Labrador Trail, released in 1907. He then turned to writing and exploring as a new career and had written twenty-eight books before his death in 1939.
