Departures of note

While stationed at Fort Stikine, Urbain Heroux was caught stealing alcohol by William Glen Rae and later entered disputes with John McLoughlin Jr.; the conflict culminated in John Jr.'s death on 21 April 1842.

George Simpson arrived five days after the killing, conducted a brief investigation, deemed Heroux justified, and sent him to Novoarkhangelsk; other men later testified that John Jr. was prone to alcoholism and had apparently tried to kill Heroux.
