=St. Lawrence Gulf.= The first authenticated voyage to the gulf is that

known as Pillage Bay, on the Labrador coast of the gulf. As this was the
feast of St. Lawrence, he named the bay _Baye Sainct Laurens_. Since
then the name has gradually spread until it embraces the whole gulf, and
the great river that empties its waters there. =Bib.=: Dawson, _The St.

Cartier to a bay on the Labrador coast of the gulf. Cartier explored the
