Spain, there were others who thought that the Shah should be encour
aged to drive the Portuguese out of H or muz, and that the aim of
English policy should be to establish a monopoly of Persian trade in
favour of the East India Company. In 1618 some further concessions
of a minor character were obtained by the Company's servants in
Persia; and the Shah " apparently " agreed that all silk leaving Persia
should in future be sold to the English, and that none should be sent
to Europe by way of Turkey or disposed of to the Spanish or the
Portuguese. Early in 1619 Sir Thomas Roe, having finished his work
in India, left for England. In the course of the following summer a
letter from the King of England was delivered to Shah 'Abbas with
much ceremony; and in November of the same year Barker died in
Persia. Trade continued to be carried on satisfactorily; but no new
Factories were established, though King James, in 1620, wrote to Shah
'Abbas to suggest the grant of a site and privileges near Jashk.
By the successful operations of the English the prosperity of
Hormuz was seriously affected; and the arrival of a fleet of five
English trading vessels at Jashk, still used by the East India Company
as their port in Persia, produced consternation in Hormuz, where
buildings were demolished and other preparations made for defence. In
1619 or 1620 the Portuguese were expelled by the Persians, assisted by
an Arab levy, from apposition which they occupied on the Arabian coast
at or near Kas-al-Khaimah ; and the t watering of Hormuz, which a
Persian force now threatened from the mainland, became a matter of
difficulty. In November 1620 the "Hart'" and "Eagle/' two of
the Company's ships, having been prevented from entering the port of
Jashk by a Portuguese fleet under Admiral Ruy Freire, returned to
Surat, were reinforced by the " London" and " Roebuck," and
eventually entered Jashk after an inconclusive encounter between the
fleets on the 17th of December. A few days later the Portuguese
squadron^ after a visit to Hormuz, to refit, reappeared in greater
strength off Jashk, and on the 28th December an obstinately contested
action was fought, which resulted in a victory for the English, not
however without the death of their Commodore, Captain Andrew
bnillinge, who died on the 6th January 1621 of a wound in the
shoulder.
