 The Jaredite ocean voyage... (compare Ether, chapter 6)


 * And now I, Moroni, continue with the record of Jared and his brother:

After the Lord touched the stones that had been taken to the top of the mountain, Jared's brother came down and put one stone in each end of the eight vessels. The Lord had caused the stones to shine, and they gave off light so that His people would not have to cross the ocean in darkness.

After they had prepared all kinds of food for themselves and for their flocks, herds, and other animals and birds that they would carry with them, they boarded their vessels and set out to sea, commending themselves to the Lord their God.

Then the Lord caused a furious wind to blow toward the promised land, and they were tossed on the waves by the wind. Many times they were submerged under the mountainous waves that broke upon them.
