Captain Herald's Preservation through Providential Guidance in the White Sea

Captain Thomas Herald, captain of the barque Albania, was trapped in ice packs in the White Sea. While attempting to save other vessels, he and his crew discovered two Russian peasants who had been carried away by ice while duck shooting and were starving. He regarded the timing of his ship passing them as a special mark of divine providence.

Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 29, No. 30 (27 July 1867), p. 477):
