three o'clock in the morning
All night long the troops were pouring in in an uninterrupted stream . At seven o'clock Verge 's division marched down to the bridge at Grenelle , crossed , and pushed on to the Trocadero . At nine General Clinchamp was master of Passy and la Muette . At three o'clock in the morning the 1st corps had pitched its tents in the Bois de Boulogne , while at about the same hour Bruat 's division was passing the Seine to seize the Sevres gate and facilitate the movement of the 2d Corps , General de Cissey 's , which occupied the district of Grenelle an hour later . The Versailles army , therefore , on the morning of the 22d , was master of the Trocadero and the Chateau of la Muette on the right bank , and of Grenelle on the left ; and great was the rage and consternation that prevailed among the Communists , who were already accusing one another of treason , frantic at the thought of their inevitable defeat . When Maurice at last understood the condition of affairs his first thought was that the end had come , that all left him was to go forth and meet his death . But the tocsin was pealing , drums were beating , women and children , even , were working on the barricades , the streets were alive with the stir and bustle of the battalions hurrying to assume the positions assigned them in the coming conflict .
