When the sailors set sail, everything was favourable. The crew was given a warm farewell. The ship was sailing towards the south, so the sun appeared to be rising from the sea. It shone brightly and sank the same way. Several days out at the sea, a very fierce storm lashed the ship with force and drove it towards the south. The masts of the ship were bent and its prow dipped in the sea. It looked like a person will his bent head before an enemy. The ship reached the region of mists and ice with icebergs, and snow-clapped cliffs all around. The place was totally deserted. Then an Albatross appeared through the fog. The Mariners were greatly relieved at the sight of the bird because they had not seen any living being for many days. They called the Albatross, a Christian soul; because after the arrival of the bird the ice split and a good wind sprang up behind them. They were infused with a new hope and experienced a sense of joy as they were able to leave that polar region and move northwards with joy.
