A telegram from Boston dated the 9th
instant says: The steamer III. +. Dlmock,
of the Metropolitan Steamship Company,
arrived here from New York about &
O'clock this evening, having on board the
occupants of W. X. Vanderbilt's yacht
Alva, which the steamer ran down this
morning. The Alya, under the command
of Captain Henry Morrison, left Bar Har.
Dor at O'Clock Saturday evening. bound
for Newport. X. t.. having on board the
owner and his guests-trederick w. Van

Winfield Scott White, and Frank Riggs,
all of whom are summsring at Newport.
Early this morning thick fog set In ana
it became so dense that Captain Morrison
deemed 1t imprudent 70 run further, as
the yacht was then in track of coasting
vessels.
After making Pollock Rip lightship
anchor was dropped. Whistles and horns
were blown at frequent intervals, ana
every possible precaution taken 10 warn
other vessels of the whereabouts OF the
Ava. The owner and his guests were all
sleeping in their berths when at few min
utes past o'clock they were aroused by
heavy crash. accompanied by the tearing
of the plates of their vessel. Mr. Wander
bilt was first on deck, closely followed by
Mr. Riggs. Looming up through the fog
they could see the dark hull of large
steamer backing away from the yacht. The
steamer was the II. +. Dimock, whose
stem had penetrated the side OF the Ava.
staviEg in the forward bulkheads. The
crew OF the yacht hailed the steamer and
informed the captain the yacht must SINK.
Captain Coleman, or the Dlmock, after
receiving an affirmative answer TO the
question whether the boat renamed In
tact, told the people on the yacht that ne
would lay by until they could be trans
ferred TO his vessel.
A steam launch, four row-boats. ana
naphtha launch were then towed from the
Alva, which was rapidly sinking. and 'he
owner and the passengers, with the crew
of fifty-two men, were soon ahoat and
rapidly pulling away from their doomed
craft. Their exit was none too soon,. Tor
waen they were about a cables length from
their vessel she made violent keel to port.
and ,rightlng again, plunged down bow hrst,
and nothing but the three masts sticking
out of the water indicated the presence OF
the magnificent ocean rover they had 50
lately deserted.
The party were all safely landed on
board the Dimock, which anchored, and
remained until lao o'clock IN the after
noon. when the fog lifted. and course
was set for Boston, arriving at the dock OF
India wharf about o'clock this evening.
The Dimock was going at greatly-re-
duced speed at the time of the collision,
otherwise she would probably have run
right over the Alva, aud frighttul loss OF
life would have been the result, owing TO
the fact that all the passengers ana one
half the crew were soundly asleep at the
time of the accident.
