"Nothing more was ever done in the vicinity of Fort Selkirk by the Hudson's Bay Company after these events, and in 1869 the Company was ordered by Capt. Charles W. Raymond, who represented the United States Government, to evacuate the post at Fort Yukon, he having found that it was west of the 141st meridian.
The violence of his illness does not prevent him from exhorting his brethren He is touched at the fatigue which his illness caused them Thanks God for the pains he suffered Dictates a letter to Clare and her daughters Rejoices and thanks God for his approaching death Blesses his children Has himself carried to S. Mary of the Angels Blesses the town of Assisi Informs a pious widow of his approaching death Blesses his brethren a second time, and makes them eat a bit of bread, blessed by his hand Gives a special blessing to Bernard, the eldest of his children What we may presume were his dispositions in receiving the last sacraments He stretches himself naked on the bare ground Desires to be buried in the place of execution Exhorts his brethren He has the praises of God sung when at the point of death He speaks to his children, and blesses them for the last time Has the passion of Jesus Christ read to him He recites the 141st psalm, and dies after the last verse Miraculous proofs of his beatitude State of his body after death The Stigmata are seen and touched publicly His obsequies Clare and her daughters see and kiss the Stigmata He is buried at Assisi, in the church of S.

Ogilvie determined, by a series of lunar observations, the point at which the Yukon River is intersected by the 141st meridian, and marked the same on the ground.
At length we reached the spot where a vista cut through the timber that clothes both banks, marked the 141st meridian, the international boundary, and passed out of Alaska into British territory. A few miles more brought us to Moose Creek, where a little Canadian custom-house is situated, and there we spent the night.
Tyers, an able and intelligent officer, was employed by the Government of New South Wales, primarily to determine the longitude of the mouth of the Glenelg, and from his triangulations and observations it would appear that the 141st meridian falls on the coast about a mile and a half to the eastward of it.
It may be mentioned that a United States surveyor has also determined the points at which the Yukon River and Forty Mile Creek are intersected by the 141st meridian."
