FRIO

Volume 501 · 69 words · 1797 Edition

a small island on the coast of the Brazils, situated in 32° 2' south lat. and 41° 31' 45" west lon. The land of Frio is high, with a hollow in the middle, which gives it, at a distance, the resemblance of two separate islands. The passage between the island and the continent is about a mile broad, and seemed to Sir Erasmus Gower to be clear from shoals.
