108. _Cibou_. Sometimes written Chibou. "Cibou means," says Mr. J. Hammond Trumball, "simply river in all eastern Algonkin languages."--_MS. letter_. Nicholas Denys, in his very full itinerary of the coast of the island of Cape Breton speaks also of the _entree du petit Chibou ou de Labrador_. This _petit Chibou_, according to his description, is identical with what is now known as the Little Bras d'Or, or smaller passage to Bras d'Or Lake. It seems probable that the great Cibou of the Indians was applied originally by them to what we now call the Great Bras d'Or, or larger passage to Bras d'Or Lake. It is plain, however, that Captain Daniel and other early writers applied it to an estuary or bay a little further west than the Great Bras d'Or, separated from it by Cape Dauphin, and now known as St. Anne's Bay. It took the name of St. Anne's immediately on the planting of Captain Daniel's colony, as Champlain calls it, _l'habitation saincte Anne en l'ile du Cap Breton_ in his relation of what took place in 1631.--_Voyages_, ed. 1632, p. 298. A very good description of it by Père Perrault may be found in _Jesuit Relations_, 1635, Quebec ed p. 42.--_Vide_, also, _Description de l'Amerique Septentrionale par Monsieur Denys_, Paris, 1672, p. 155, where is given an elaborate description of St Anne's Harbor. _Gransibou_ may be seen on Champlain's map of 1632, but the map is too indefinite to aid us in fixing its exact location. 109. _Vide Sir William Alexander and American Colonization_, Prince Society, 1873, pp. 66-72.--_Royal Letters, Charters, and Tracts relating to the Colonisation of New Scotland_, Bannatyne Club, Edinburgh, 1867, p. 77 _et passim_.
