Detailed explanation-1: -When the mariner’s ship sinks in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” the Pilot rescue the mariner. The ship sank after seeing the bad omens of a ghost ship and an albatross. The Pilot is accompanied in the rescue ship with his son and a holy hermit.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the ship sinks from sight, the mariner is pulled from the sea and ferried back to land. No sign remains of his once-proud ship or his brave crew. He is left to share his story with anyone who will listen, although he has no evidence to back up his claims besides his own experiences.
Detailed explanation-3: -But the Mariner escapes his curse by unconsciously blessing the hideous snakes, and the albatross drops off his neck into the ocean. The Mariner falls into a sweet sleep, and it finally rains when he wakes up.
Detailed explanation-4: -The pilot’s boy laughs, thinking the mariner is the devil, and cries, “The Devil knows how to row". Back on land, the mariner is compelled by “a woful agony” to tell the hermit his story.
Detailed explanation-5: -How many people came to rescue the Mariner? The pilot, the pilot’s boy, and the Hermit all came to rescue the Mariner. 8.
