Steamer Ashore at Monifieth
A mild sensation was created in Monifieth yesterday afternoon when it became known that a small steamer was ashore at the west end of town. The ship lies on the sands opposite the West End links and is quite close inshore. She is the Renown, of Liverpool which so far as known was making for Liverpool from Sunderland. She was first noticed opposite Albert Foundry and the crew were evidently making efforts to get out of the shallow but only managed to steer a little further west when the vessel grounded and remained fast. The tide was receding at the time and will not be full til this morning when no doubt a further attempt will be made to get into the proper channel. The ship settled on a pile of rocks known as "Battersen" which is marked as dangerous by a pole being fised on top.

The Dundee Trojan
James Jeffrey who scored Dundee's leading goal against Kilmarnock, is amongst the most reliable backs in the country. For Jeffrey the great Templeton and elusive Simpson have no terrors and even Walker has to keep his weather eye open when the Dundee trojan is about.
The Right Way To Mash Potatoes
Peel and boil the potatoes. Now allow for every 1lb of potatoes a wineglassful of absolutely boiling milk, and a bit of butter about the size of a medium walnut. When the potatoes are quite dry, add the boiling milk, butter and salt and pepper to taste and beat up with a fork until white and light. Send to the table at once. No one who has not tried it can realise the difference the hot milk makes.
