Seghers (C.J.) — Continued. 



fathers remained to establish amission for the 

 Stekin Indians, while Arclibishop Seghers, 

 accompanied by his servant and some Indian 

 fiuides, piished on for the trading- post at Mukla- 

 kayet. near the mouth ot the Tanaauah Kiver, 

 reaching that point late in October. . . . The 

 journey wns resumed with the intention of 

 striking tlic Yukon Hirer at Niilata. After 

 seven days with tlia sleds, during which they 

 had accomplished about 170 miles, they came to 

 a deserted village .30 miles from Nulata, and on 

 the advice of the Indians Archbishop Seghers 

 determined to halt here for the night, but to go 

 on the next day a fewmiles to an Indian settle- 

 ment, and there to establish a mission. Fuller, 

 however, who seems to have been of a morose 

 disposition, was averse to pursuing the journey 

 any further, and gave way to.a fit of angerwhen 

 he found that the Indians' advice prevailed 

 against his own with the archbishop. The party 

 entered an abandoned hut and lay down in a 

 line before the fire and slept. In si)ite of the 

 archbishop's soothing words, Fuller's anger at 

 the pro.spect of having to go further into tliis 

 desolate region must have rankled in the man's 

 heart. At daylight the next morning, Sunday, 

 >Joveniber 28, Fuller went out and brought 

 some sticks for the fire, and then sat down oppo- 

 site the sleeping prelate. Picking up his rifle, 

 lie leveled it at the prelate's head, at the same 

 time calling out. "Archbishop, get up!" The 

 .archbishop raised his head. As he did so 

 Fuller pulled the trigger, and the holy mission- 

 ary received the bullet between the eyes and 

 fell back dead without a sound. . . . The 

 body, which tlie Indians had covered up and 

 left behind them in the hut, was sent for .at once 

 •and forwarded to the seaport of St. Mich-ael's. 

 There it was encoftined, and at the request of 

 the Russian priest was deposited in the Russhan 

 church until it could be taken to Victoria for 

 interment. The murderer, on being bronght 

 to St. Michael's, .acknowledged his guilt and 

 professed great sorrow. The lamentation o\'er 

 the death of this devoted missionary, refined 

 scholar, adventurous explorer, and at the same 

 time humble and amiable Christian, was iiar- 

 ticularly great throughout the Northern Pacific 

 coast, where his personality had become 

 endeared to all sorts of people during his fifteen 

 yeaisof active Christian work in that region. —
