|»BITONB IN NYASSALAND SOUTH EAST AFRICA. Livingstonia, Lake Nyaua, last Centra Africa, Karonga, 26th Feb., 1889. Gentlemen,—' At the urgent request of a friend in Africa, I bave been persuaded to write you regarding one of the Waterbury Watches, which 1 wear every day, ani can recommend for time-keeping ability. It has been in Africa for three years, travelled from London to Zanzibar, from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, from Lake Tanganyika to Lake Nyassa. 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 as something marvellous. Once it was taken down when the spring leaped from the case, giving ns all a fright, and lay some yards off, a giant thing of many feet in length. In the fights we have had at Nyasta with the Arabs it has been with me in several engtgements. Notwithstanding all, it keeps good time, and is not rivalled by valuable watches. For wear and tear and time-keeping in a rough country like Africa, I think there is nothing better. Believe me, gentlemen, most respectfully yours, DAVID KBWE CBOSS, M.8.C.H., Ordained Missionary, Livingstonia. THB WATEBBUBY WATCH CO. P. B. —The watch is one of your humblest, —D.X.C.
