BRITONS IN NYASSALAND. SOUTH-EAST AFRICA.

Liviagatonia, Lake Nyasia, Eaßt Central Africa, Karonga, 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 oau recommend for time- keeping ability. It has been in Africa for three yearß, travelled from London to Zanzibar, from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, from Lake Tanganyika to Lake Nyasfla. It has been twice under water in African risers, had at least two fulls, and been severely handled by many natives, many of whom look upon it as something marvellous. Once it was taken down whsn the spring leaped from the case, Riving us all a. flight, and lay some yards off, a giant thing of many feet in length. In the fights we have had at Nyassa 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 lime-keeping in a rough country like Africa, I think there is nothing better. Believe me, gentlemen, moat respectfully youre, DAVID KEWE CROSS, MB CM., Ordained Missionary, Livingßtonia. Tni! "WATERBURY WA'JCH CO. P.S.— The watch is ono of your humblest.— D.X.C.
