Many reasons havebeen suggested, and of these the oldest, that Blake had to defendthe river at any cost, is obviously the most fallacious, for Blakescourse took him to leeward of the rivers mouth. It is possible thatBlake recalled how this same Tromp had, in the case of Oquendo,turned the Downs into a rat-trap, and that, in view of the demolitionof the batteries that had protected Ayscue, the anchorage was held tobe unsafe.

Therewas no engagement till the fleets came off Dungeness, when thetrend of the coast brought the English van down upon the Dutch. There resulted a partial engagement, in which the leading Englishships were terribly outnumbered. It is probable that many Dutchvessels were too far to leeward to help, while it is but too certain thatEnglish captains in
