He sailed for [[India]] in the ''Ascension'' on 25 March 1608 on the Company's Fourth Voyage of which [[Alexander Sharpeigh]] was the commander or general. After touching at the [[Cape of Good Hope]], and visiting [[Aden]], [[Mocha, Yemen|Mocha]], and the island of [[Socotra]], the ''Ascension'' sailed, towards the end of August 1609, for [[Surat]], and on 3 September was lost on a shoal in the [[Gulf of Cambay]]. The crew reached Gandavee in the boats, and marched thence to Surat. A few days later most of them set out for [[Agra]], but Jourdain remained at Surat, pushing the company's trade and conciliating the Indian officials. In January 1610–11 he joined Captain [[Sir William Hawkins|William Hawkins]] at Agra, and after six months' stay here he returned to Surat. In February 1611–12 he sailed for the [[Red Sea]] in the ''Trade's Increase''. From Mocha he went to [[Sumatra]], and on to Tecoa and [[Banten (town)|Bantam]], where on 28 November 1617 he was appointed to remain as chief factor, or 'president of the English,' his work being not only to regulate the business of the company, but—which was more troublesome—to adjust the quarrels of his subordinates. The appointment was made at the behest of General [[Thomas Best (navy captain)|Thomas Best]], commander of the tenth voyage, with the consent of the other factors at Bantam.{{sfn|Foster|1905|page=lx–lxi}} The appointment gave Jourdain authority over all of the Company's factories in the East except that of [[Surat]], where Sir [[Thomas Roe]] held sway as special envoy to the [[Moghul Empire|Moghul]] Emperor [[Jahangir]].{{sfn|Foster|1905|page=lxviii}} |
