Walter was not the only Hunt to participate in the expedition. His younger brother, Ralph Hudson Hunt, class of 1891, accompanied him to Labrador. The brothers were part of the expedition that traveled along the north Labrador coast. Walter and Ralph had matching portraits taken aboard the Julia A. Decker.

Ralph also claimed the distinction of being the one to spot the boat carrying Austin Cary and Dennis Cole upon their return from the Grand Falls.
