eleven o'clock
The avenues were closely invested , and even old men and women were arrested on their way to their own thresholds . From time to time single shots or volleys of musketry were heard in the distance , and wounded men were carried past to the hospitals . The Government had ordered all public carriages to be cleared from the stands , that material for new barricades might not exist when the old ones were demolished ; but the people were busy , too , for the iron railings at the hôtel of the Minister of Marine , in the Place de la Concorde , and at the churches of the Assumption and St. Roch had been torn away to supply weapons of attack or defence , or implements with which to tear up the huge square paving stones of Paris for barricades . At eleven o'clock the National Guard of the Second Arrondissement gathered at the opera house in the Rue Lepelletier , and near the office of `` Le National . '' `` Vive la Réforme ! '' `` Vive la Garde Nationale ! '' `` Long live the real defenders of the country ! ''
