Brigham Young's Miraculous Preservation on the Ice

“In company with my brother Joseph, I started for Kingston, Upper Canada, on foot in the month of December, the most of the way through mud and snow from one to two feet deep. In crossing from Gravelly Point to Kingston, on the ice which had frozen the night previous, the ice was very thin and bent under our feet, so that in places the water was half shoe deep, and we had to separate from each other, the ice not being capable of holding us. We travelled about six miles on the ice, arrived in Kingston, and found a friend who was going that evening near the place where we were first to call. We proceeded to West Loboro, where we remained about one month, baptized about forty-five souls, and organized the West Loboro and other branches.”
