BOJADOR

Volume 4 · 63 words · 1842 Edition

BOJADOR, a cape of Western Africa, which projects considerably into the sea, and presents a very rugged and tempestuous aspect. The Portuguese were for many years deterred by it from prosecuting their career of discovery in this direction. At length it was passed by Gellaney, and vessels navigating the Atlantic now stand too far out to sea to be exposed to any danger.
