 On August 27th, the party encountered a snowstorm on Lake Laberge. They stopped at a First Nation camp and Seghers recognized people he had met before, perhaps at Noukelakayet. The party reached [Arthur] Harper’s Place, a trading post at the mouth of the Stewart River, on 7 September 1886.((Sister Mary Mildred, //The Apostle of Alaska: Life of the Most Reverend Charles John Seghers.// St. Anthony Guild Press, 1943: 223-242.))
-Seghers worried that a Protestant missionary, Rev. Parker, was planning on establishing a mission at Nulato. Archbishop Seghers left Tosci and Robaut at Stewart and travelled on down the Yukon River by canoe with Fuller who had already exhibited signs of paranoia. The two priests were to join Seghers at Nulato in the spring.  Seghers and Fuller reached Noukelakayet on October 4th and they had to wait until the river froze before continuing. The trader, a man named Walker, was anti-Catholic and he stoked Fuller’s paranoia. Seghers and Fuller left for Nulato by dog team at the end of November, accompanied by an adult, Sennetoh [Shahnuuti’], and a youth, Koihatoy. They were camped at a spot close to their destination when Fuller shot Seghers, killing him instantly.((Sister Mary Mildred, //The Apostle of Alaska: Life of the Most Reverend Charles John Seghers.// St. Anthony Guild Press, 1943: 223-242.))

 Seghers was buried at St. Michael, exhumed in 1888 and buried at Victoria, reburied in the crypt at St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Victoria in 1894, and reburied again in a memorial crypt under the high alter in 1938. Francis Fuller was tried for murder in Sitka with Walker and Sennetoh [Shahnuuti’] as witnesses. He was convicted of manslaughter and condemned to ten years hard labour and a fine of a thousand dollars.((Sister Mary Mildred, //The Apostle of Alaska: Life of the Most Reverend Charles John Seghers.// St. Anthony Guild Press, 1943: 254-256, 259-62.))
