BRITONS IN NYASSALAND. SOUTH-EAST AFRICA.

Livingstonia, Lake Nyasia, East Central Afrioa, Karonga, 26th Feb , 1889. Gontlemon, — " At the urgent request of a friend in Africa, I havo been perßuaded to write you regarding ona of the Waterbury Watches, which I wetr every day, ana"' 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 Nxaßsa. It has been twice under water in African ri\ ere, 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 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 Nyaesa with the Arabs it has been with me in several engagements. Notwithstanding all it keeps good time, and iB not rivalled by valuable watches. For wear nnd tear and time-keeping in a rough country like Africa, I think there is nothing better. Believe me, gentlemen, moat respectfully yours, DAVID KEWS CROSS, M.B CM., Ordained Missionary, Livingstonia. THE WATERBURY WATCH CO. P.S. — The watch is one of your humblest.— D.X.C.
