STATEMENT OF FRANK W, LEVIEN, Dean Richmond started from Athens at ten o'clock last night, with about on: ro wo Bl sengers om board, and, emer the deck bands ofthe boat, the heaviest ireizht that has been transported op this hne during the scason. I bad two children, my little brother and sister, in my care, and these I placed in @ stateroom on the second deck (above the main deck of the vessel), finding for myself a berth in the gentiemen’s cabin, in the hold. I retired to my about a quarter after eleven, I laid awake for about half an hour, and it appeared to me that I had been sleeping for about ap hour and a balf longer, when | heard a terrific crash, accompanied with a severe grating solnd which aroused me, I leaped out from my berth with only pantatoons and shirt op, and vaguely comprehending the cause of the eounds, rushed to the companionway, but decided to return to my bertb for the rest of my clothing. As T stepped into the cabin on my way back I found the floor covered with water to the depth of about half a foot, Beside my berth I found two men siceping soundly and snoring loudly. 1 kicked and aroused the men and then seizing my clothing, ran to the room of my sister and brother, aroused the children and took them by the hand, At this time there was great commotion on board. Women and men were running hither and thither, shricking loudly and addiug to the alarm by tieir excitement, and there was a great noise of feet burrying to and fro overhead, I asked one of the “hands,” who was paseing, how I could get off the boat, and he told me to go to the bow, I ran there, but found so ereat a crowd of horses and piles of freight that I could not get out, I then burried back and found that the water was fiowing up on the mato deck. I ran up stairs to the saloon and run- ning forward tried the doors leading to the upper deck, but found that they were locked and, therefore, I could not reach the bow in that way, The people on this deck were wild wich consternation and were raging about utterly unconscious of ubeir acts and incapable of tak- ing auy moasures for their preservation, Im running baci through all this confusion towards the stern of the boat, I saw through the glass at the topof a stateroom door, the light on the steamer Vanderbilt, which had approached our boat, I immediately broke open the oor of the stateroom, broke the window and handed the children out to the deck bands of the Vanderbilt, who worked aasiduously in rving life. After saving the chiidren I returned to the Richmond and assiated several ladies through the window to the deck af tbe Vanderbilt. A crowd of male passengers who stood the Dean Richmond passed the ladies hastily te tnt Vanderbilt, The deck bands of the Rich. wond ran on the frat and thought of nothing but their own safety, but the eeptein gat officers of the boat gallantly discharged the many onerots duties devolving onthem at such a time; ‘The colored woman who bad charge of the ladies’ cabin also acted bravely, and by her coolness succeeded in quteting the wild fears of many who seemed inclined to leap overboard under the excitement of PR poser: Two schooners which were passitig h6¥é to hear the scene of the accident, and lowering their boats succeeded in taking off a num- ber of gers from the Richmond. It was reported in my hearing that the head waiter and another employé on the boat were missing, but no definite account could be learned of the number of casualties. While this work of rescuing the re was going on, the vessel was rapidly sinking, and in twenty minutes after I was aroused from my berth the Richmond had J Fortunate Rescue of the Other Passengers. Conflicting Statements as to the Cause ef the Accident, intelligence reached this city at an early hour ye: ‘day morning that the steamer Dean Richmond, of the -People’s line, running between this city and Athens, had been run into by the steamer C, Vanderbilt, of the Troy Steamboat Company, and sunk within twenty Tainutes of the time of coliding. The news caused the ‘Tost intense excitement, similar in its exhibiton to that occasioned by the news brought to this city early one Sunday morning, some months ago, of the explosion on ‘board the steamer St. John, It was known that the Richmond was heavily freighted with passengers and ‘the friends of those of whose presence on board they had been advised, and others apprehensive that loved ones daily expected home might be returning by this Foute, anxiously sought the office of the Huwrstp, and ‘the office of the different companies, cager to learn all ‘the particulars they could of the disaster.

Another Accotxt=—Statements of Passengers on Board the Vanderbilt. ve TROY, Sept. 20, 1867, The city was startled at a very early hour this morn- ing by the annonncement that a disastrous collision had occarred at 12:30 this A. M., on the Hudson, between the two freight and passenger steamers Dean Richmond and Cornelius Vanderbilt, and that it had been at tended with loss of life, which latter event at this writing (3:30 P. M.) seems quite probabie, although no one has verified the belief.

The Vanderbilt, it is stated with great unanimity by the passengers who have ar- rived here in her, was proceeding on her direct and proper eastern course up the Fiver, making for the east- erntine of Esopus Island. At this moment the Rich- mond rounded the southern point of the is- st, bot failed in some unac- to keep her Course properly Dut steered directly across the river and immediately in front of the Vanderbilt.

Several men passengers on the Vander- bilt bad found time between the blowing of the whistle and the collision to reach the deck and inquiries as to ‘what was up.’’ The Richmond made no responae, but ran directly upon the bow of the Vanderbilt, and was vory nearly cut in two at the forward quarter of he on beth decks; but soon the rapidly gaining water ‘warning to those on the Richmond that she was & sinking condition.

STATEMENT OF THE DEAN RICHMOND'S PILOT. , * Mr. Judson Morey, pilot of the Dean Richmond, in formed our reporter that he met the Vanderbilt near Esopus Island, when the latter blew two whistles for the ‘Dean Richmond to zo to the left, ate second pilot of ‘the Dean Richmond blew two whistles in ‘which meant “all right.” Then the Vander Fepied ie with one whistle, meaning go to the it. the larboard side, and I am reliably informed ‘Richmond was already going to the left and blew seve- | that the bow of the Vanderbilt penetrated ‘ral whistles, indicating confusion, and then stopped | the colliding steamer about forty feet, ich resulted in the Richmond's being kept from instantly sinking, which she at once did when abandoned to her fate by the Vanderbilt. When the proportions of the accident were developed the greatest consternation seized upon both the officers ee the ill- boded Richmond, the terror and continuing anti! they were ferred, through the agoncy of the Van- derbilt, to the consort steamer Daniel Drew, passing by en route for New York. It ts officially related that Captain Teson, commanding the Vanderbilt, not only successfully allayed tbe fears of his own passengers, but by his coolness and resolu- tion did nearly ail that was done to prevent the calamity from bel far more serious than it was. Among the {neidents I may mention that ten of the crew of the Vanderbilt at the time of the accident were sleeping in the forecastie, and agg, tomy confined were unable to extricate themselves. ey were directed to remain quit and told that they would be reiieved at earliest moment, it not being known how many of them were killed, wedged as they were between the debris of the two boats, They wore all subsequently taken out alive, and only one of them in- jured and that so slightly that he is about the city to- day. As before intimated of the withdrawal of the prow of the Vanderbilt from the Richmond, the latter vessel instantly sunk in sixteen fathoms of water, with an immense and val freight, including two hun- dred and fitty tons of cheese. ‘The injuries to the Vanderbilt were somew! sive but not serious, owing to her baving “The collision took place almost immediately after—the star- sunk in less than half an hour. ‘The occurrence took place between eleven and twelve ‘a'clock. P ‘THE POSITION OF THE BOATS ON THE RIVER, Both. steamers were east of and abreast of Esopus Isiana, On the west shore, going up, were the steamers St. Jonn and Hero, The Drew. soon after the collision, took off the Dean Richmond’s passengers. conveying them to New York, whither tbey were bound. The sunken vessel had three hundred tons of butter and cheese on board, and was furnished in ae atyle, but it is expected that almost all the furniture will be gaved. It was thought, late yester afternoon, that her cargo had shifted. She lies in thirty feet of water, and at4 P. M, three steamers were pulling her toward the west sbore, the persons in command having concluded to fasten her to the dock at Port Ewen. hs MISSING PARTINS, * One waiter, named John Manning, and the cook of the steamer are reported missing, but the officers and others on the wieck and who were on board of the boat at the time ef the accident, say that none of the passengers were iost. f i of floatin articles, such es trunks, valtses, A great lot bedding. &c., have Deen picked up by boats hired for ing those present at stateroom: Donnets, cloaks, books, articles and placiog them on board a schooner, where they will be taken chargo of watil claimed by the own- the wreck now lies there is but thirty feet of hoped from the number of boats and schooners emp! ved, about her aoe os deal of the cargo and passengers’ bagvage wi saved. Another version of the case is that after the first whistle the Dean sheered, and not bein; able to recover herself, therefore gave four jatles to notify the Vanderbilt that she could not change her course, and she then slowed and stopped and rung the bell as for the Vanderbilt to back and Fave a collision. latter did so, but in such @ manner as to stril Richmond with terrific force on her starboard bow. Various storios are afloat relative to the cause of the cOilision.
