Thought It Was a Waterbury.
An officer of a liner which sails from New York vouches for the following story: “On a recent trip I was on deck talking with a passenger when eight bells sounded. ‘There goes eight bells.’ I said, excusing myself. T must take my watch below.’ “‘Gracious!’ she exclaimed. ‘Fancy having a watch that strikes so loud.’" —New York Tribune.
