CAMEL ACCIDENT AT COOLGARDIE.
Mr William Dunn writes as follows, under date of April 25,1894, from Crystal Brook, Guyra, New South Wales, to the Waterbury Watch Company, 54 Margaret St., Sydney:—“ I have been to the centre of West Australia, prospecting in new country, for 15 months. The quickwinding Waterbury watch which I purchased in 1892 was all the time subjected to very rough usage, but still it kept very accurate time. I was wearing it when A CAMEL BOLTED WITH ME THROUGH the MAIN STREET of COOLGARDIE. It suddenly lay down, the shock being somewhat similar to a railway collision; but it never interfered with the watch. I have been ‘dryblowing’ for alluvial gold—one of the most dirty kinds of work that a watch can be put to —but it did not interfere im any way with my Waterbury. It is a beautiful timekeeper, and I would never think of carrying any other. lam one of the prospectors of the Brilliant Gold Reef, 25 miles north of Ooolgardie.” The Waterburys are all the rage. Best metal, best movement, minimum cost. Sold throughout Australasia. Prices, from 13s 6d to £5 ss. —1
