An Unnamed Elder's Vision of a Hidden Rocky Reef

“Away back in the sixties a company of Latter-day Saints, bound for Utah, was crossing the Atlantic in a sailing vessel. The weather was dull, and for days a dense fog rested upon the sea. Still the ship sailed on, though it was hazardous, for even the captain seemed dubious as to his whereabouts. Standing beside him on deck was a 'Mormon' Elder, returning from a mission. 'Look, Captain!' the Elder exclaimed, pointing forward. The fog had suddenly lifted, had rolled up like a curtain, and there, only a short distance away, was a rocky reef toward which the vessel was fast driving. To see and to act were as one with the stalwart commander. Springing to the wheel, and seizing it out of the hands of the sailor in charge, who was sent sprawling, he turned and turned it with the utmost rapidity, until the obedient ship veered round just in time to escape the rocks and avert a disaster that might have doomed hundreds to a watery grave. — Millennial Star 84:17”
