<u>What happens to the Mariner's ship right after the Albatross arrives</u>? It is freed from the ice. The sailors believed the Albatross had saved them from the icy world by summoning the wind: "Ah wretch! Said they, the bird to slay / That made the breeze to blow! Then the mist disappeared and the sun shone particularly brightly, like God's own head."
