In Eliza R. Snow's biography of her brother Lorenzo Snow, she recorded a remarkable healing miracle. While transporting Saints from England aboard the 'Swanton,' the ship's steward became severely ill and 'was given up, and nearly dead.' Sister Martin insisted that Elder Snow administer to him. After priesthood administration, 'the man was healed.' This documented healing miracle demonstrated the power of priesthood in times of great need, even while crossing the ocean.
