 160 THE BATTLE OF INKERMAN. SECOND PERIOD. 7.30 A.M. TO 8.80 A.M. CHAP. VI. 2d Period. Fresh troops and guns brought up by the enemy. Dannen- berg'a assumption of the com- mand over both the army corps. Prince Mentschi- koff and the Grand- Dukes. If 15,000 * of the enemy's defeated forces were now altogether abandoning the Inkerman battle- field, 10,000 1 fresh infantry, followed close by no less than 97 additional guns, had made their way round under Pauloff along the East Sapper's Eoad, and up St George's Eavine to the higher slopes of Shell Hill. General Dannenberg, on gaining the heights, took command of not only the force which marched under Pauloff, but also of the other army-corps which Soimonoff had led out from Sebastopol. It was evidently under- stood that for all the purposes of the fight on Mount Inkerman, General Dannenberg had an independent authority which Prince Mentschikoff would not supersede. When the Prince had come up, he placed himself on the retired position of St George's Brow, and there kept the Grand- Dukes at his side. By means of the fresh artillery brought up under Pauloff, the enemy's array of batteries was strengthened, but also prolonged, from Shell Hill to the end of East Jut ; § and General Dannenberg t Computing the Sii^jper battalion at 750, 10,712. X So prearranged, see ante, p. 8G. § At first tweiity-fonr, and afterwards, it seems, thirty-two guns were established on Mast Jut alone.
