BRITONS IN NYASS ALAND. SOUTH-EAST AFRICA. Living'jtonitV, Lake Nyassa, East Central Africa, Karonga,, 26th Feb., 1889. (Jentlemcn, — '* At tbo uigent request of a friend iv Ailica, 1 havo been persuaded to writy you rcgt»,vding one ot the Waterbury Watches, which I ■near every day, and can recommend for time-keeping ability. Ifc Iks been iv Africa foe tluce years, travelled from London to Zanzibar, from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, fioni Lake Tanganyika to Lake Ny.i<m. It has been twice under water in African rivers, had at least two falls, and been severely handled by many natives, many of whom look upon it us something marvellous. Once it was taken down v. hen the spring leaped from the case, giving us all a fright, and lay some yards off, a giant thing of many feet iv length. In the fights we have had at Nyasso. with the Arabi it has been with me in several engagements. Notwithstanding all it keep 3 good lime, and ia not rivalled by valuable watches. For wear and tear and timekeeping in a rough country like Africa, I think there is nothing better. Believe me, gentlemen, most respectfully youra, David Klv>l Ckoss, M.8.C.M., Ordained Missionary, Liviugstonia. The Watehbuuy Watch Co. P.S.— The watch ia one of your humblest. — D.X.C."
