BRITONS IN NYASSALAND. SOUTH-EAST AFRICA.

Living s tonia, Lake Nynsqa, East Central Africn, Karonsa, 26th Feb ,1889. Gentlemen,—" At the urgent request of a friend in Africa, I have been persuaded to write .you regarding ona of the Waterbury Watches, which I wetr every day, and can recommend for time-keeping ability. It has been in Africa for throe years, travelled from London to Zanzibar, from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, from Like Tanganyika to L^ko Nyassa. It has been twice under water in African rhcra, had at lenst two fallß, and been severely handled by many natives, many of %vhom look upon it as something marvellous. Once it was taken down whan the spring leaped from the case, giving us all a fright, and lay some yards off, a giant thing of many feet in length. In the fights we have had at Nyasea 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. Believe me, gentlemen, most respectfully youre, DAVID KEWE GROSS, SIUC M , Ordained Missionary, Livingstonia. TOE WATERBURY WATCH GO. P.S. — Tho watch is ono of your humblest.— D.X.C.
