10 And it came to pass in the thirty and ninth year of the reign of the judges, Shiblon died also, and Corianton had gone forth to the land northward in a ship, to carry forth provisions unto the people who had gone forth into that land.If I am reading this right I think Corianton sailed on the voyage referred to a few verses earlier:
7 And in the thirty and eighth year, this man built other ships. 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.That would be hard to see a brother go on a ship and never hear from him again in this life. I wonder why Corianton decided to go. Did the spirit of adventure stir him up to it?
8 And it came to pass that they were never heard of more. And we suppose that they were drowned in the depths of the sea. And it came to pass that one other ship also did sail forth; and whither she did go we know not.
Alma 63.
