BRITONS IN NY ASS ALAND.

SOUTH EAST AFRICA,

Livingstone, Lake Myassa, East Central Africa, Karonna, 26th February, 1 S3!) ■ Gentleman, — At the urgent request of a friend m Africa, I have been persuaded to write you regardn" one of the Waterbury Watches, which I wear (.very day, and can recommend for time keeping ability. It has been m Africa lor three years, travelled from Jjondon to Zanzibar, from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, from Lake Tanganyika to Lake Nyassa. It lias been twice under water m African rivers, had at least two falls, and been severely haudled by many natives, many of whom look upon it as something marvellous. Once it was taken down when the spring leaped trom the case, giving us all a fright, and lay some yards off, a giant thing of many feet m length. In the fights we have had at Nyassa with Arabs it has been with me m several engagements. Notwithstanding all it keeps good time, and it is not rivalled by valuable watches. For wear and tear and time keeping m a rough country like Africa, I think there is nothing better. Believe me, gentlemen, most respectfully yours, David Kewe Cross, M.8.C.M., Ordained Missionary, Livingstonia. The Waterbub* Watch Co. P.S.— The watch is one of your humblest. — D.X.C.
