BRITONS IN NYASSALAND. SOUTH-EAST AFRICA.

Livingstonia, Lake Nyasna, 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 ond of the Waterbury Watches, which I wes.r every day, smd 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 rivers, 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 & fright, and lay some yards off, a giant thing of many feet in length. In the fights we have hud at Nyassa with the Arabs it has been with me in several engagements. Notwithstanding all it keepß 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 yours, DAVID KEWE OBOBS, M.B CM,, Ordained Missionary, Livingstonia. THE WAT&RBUBY WATOH CO. • P.S. — The watch is' one of your humblest.— D.K.O.
