...submarine 54, once a coffin for 40 seamen off Provincetown, Mass., now a rescue laboratory stripped of fighting gear, gurgled purposefully down into seven fathoms of blue Gulf Stream water off Key West last week, carrying a trapped crew of 15 volunteers. The U. S. S. Mallard (tender) stood by. After 15 minutes a black buoy bobbed up among the waves. Three anxious minutes crawled by. Then the head of Chief Torpedoman Edward Kalinowski plopped out on the surface. A minute later Lieut. Charles B. Momsen emerged. They were the first two U. S. submariners ever to escape directly from...

...daub of foam and then a dark hulk appeared on the surface of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Provincetown, Mass., last week.

But nowhere was a written record of the horrible last hours of those bodies...

Mr. Swift is seemingly as much at war with dramatic forms as with this world...
...pieces and it was in a Connecticut sanitarium, defeating a faint touch of tuberculosis, that he stopped to think. Soon he wrote his first play and proceeded to George Pierce Baker's famed playwright's class at Harvard to achieve technique. In 1916 at the tiny Wharf Theatre in Provincetown, Mass., his first production came to life, a one-acter, Bound East for Cardiff. Henry Louis Mencken and George Jean Nathan, then editors of the rascally Smart Set, accepted three plays for publication. Critic Nathan, notorious, noisy, can always say, truthfully, he recognized the good wine of genius before...
