BRITONS IN NYASSALAND. SOUTH-EAST AFRICA.

Livingstonia, Lake Nyassa, East Central Africn, Karonga, 26th Fob , 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 three years, travelled from London to Zanzibar, from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, from Lako Tanganyika to Lake Nyassa. It has been twice under water in African ri\ers, had at least two fulle, 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 Nyassu with the Arabs it has been with me in sggeral engagements. Notwithstanding all it keeps good time, and is not rivalled by valuable watches. For wear and tear ami timc-koepins; in a rouc;h country like Africa, I think there is nothing better. Believe me, gentlemen, most respectfully yours, DAVID KEWK CUOSS, MUCH., Ordained Missionary, Livingstonia. TttK WATEKBURY WATCU CO. P.S. — The watch is one of your humblest.— D.X.C.
