Care—how heavy is this little word of four letters! Everybody is more or less affected by it. Yes, it rests upon the heads of the rulers, the employers and employees, the teachers and students, the fathers the mothers; no class is free from it. How shall we escape care?

The seas were rough and frigid the afternoon of December 17. After checking the surface for nearby ships, the crew of the 800-ton submarine USS S-4 ended her run by bringing up her periscope directly in the path of an onrushing former U.S. naval destroyer.

A jarring collision ripped a gash four feet long and two feet...
