BRITONS IN NYASSALAND. SOUTH-EAST AFRICA.

Livingstonia, Lake Nyassa, East Central Africa, Karonga, 26th Feb , 1889. Gentlemen, — " At the urgent request of a friend in Africa, I have been persuaded to write you regarding on a of the Waterbury Watches, which I wetr 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 rherß, had at least two falls, and been severely bandied by many natives, many of whom look upon it as something marvellous. Once it wrb 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 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 time-keeping in a rough country like Africa, I think there is nothing better. Believe me, gentlemen, most respectfully youre, DAVID KEWE CROSS, M.B C.M., Ordained Missionary, Livingstonia. THE WATBRBURY WATCH CO. P.S. — The watch is one of your humblest.— D.X.C. JOHN AVERY, New Plymouth.
