ÜBITONB IN NYASSALAND SOUTH EAST AFRICA. LivingstonU, Lake Baat Oentra Africa, Karon ga, 26th Feb., 1889. Gentlemen, — ' At the urgent request of a friend in Africa, I bave been persuaded to write you regarding one of the Waterbnry Watches, which T wear every day, and 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 riverß, 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 us all a f right, and lay some yards off, a giant thine of many feet in length. In the fights we have had at Nya*«a with the Arabs it has been with me in several engagements. 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.
