Alma 30 1 And it came to pass in the commencement of the thirty and sixth year of the reign of the Judges over the people of Nephi, that Shiblon took possession of those sacred things which had been delivered unto Helaman by Alma;
2 And he was a just man, and he did walk uprightly before God; and he did observe to do good continually, to keep the commandments of the Lord his God; and also did his brother.
3 And it came to pass that Moroni died also.
4 And thus ended the thirty and sixth year of the reign of the Judges.
5 And it came to pass that in the thirty and seventh year of the reign of the Judges, there was a large company of men, even to the amount of five thousand and four hundred men, with their wives and their children, departed out of the land of Zarahemla, into the land which was northward.
6 And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceeding curious man, therefore he went forth, and built him an exceeding large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful, by the land Desolation, and launched it forth into the west sea, by the narrow neck which led into the land northward.
7 And behold there were many of the Nephites who did enter therein, and did sail forth with much provisions, and also many women and children; and they took their course northward.
8 And thus ended the thirty and seventh year.
9 And in the thirty and eighth year, this man built other ships.
10 And the first ship did also return, and many more people did enter into it; and they also took much provisions, and set out again to the land northward.
11 And it came to pass that they were never heard of more. And we suppose that they were drowned up in the depths of the sea.
