The albatross came gliding through the fog. The shipmates, who had not seen a single soul, be it of another human or animal, and had grown morose, suddenly felt hopeful. They hailed the bird as a Christian soul and fed it. The bird flew round the ship and soon the ice broke enabling the ship to pass through. Further, a favourable breeze started blowing. At this, the shipmates felt strengthened in their belief that the albatross brought them goodluck. The albatross followed them continously and flew around the ship. It used to come down for food and play at a fixed time. It ate whatever was given to it, may it be something that albatrosses are not known to eat.
