In August Bienville and five men resumed the
exploration of the coastal section. Eastward
Pascagoula Bay was discovered. Westward, Pearl River
was noted. A pleasant little bay discovered on the birthday of
the sainted Louis IX was named Bay of St. Louis. In September
the exploration party encountered an English ship near
the mauth of the Mississippi Hiver, a region immediately south
of the so-called "Carolina Grant", made in 1627 to Sir Robert
Heath by King Charles I of England, and later falling into the
hands of a London physician, Coxe. etc.
Meanwhile, explorations continued. Lieutenants L‘Adnier, brothers, discovered passes which bear their names "Pass Christian and Pass Marianne".
