Battle of Inkerman — Removing the Wounded — The General Wounded— Point of View — Aspect of Battle
DEPARTURE. 125
On the 8th I obtained, by Captain Derri- man's kindness, a passage in the vessel from which this is dated. She is bound for Con- stantinople, whence — as I have not time to deliver my letters at the Embassy — I shall proceed at once to England. Dining on board her, before she started, were the Duke of Cambridge and his Staff, General Bentinck (wounded in the arm), Major Nasmyth, and others. H.R. EL mentioned many interesting circumstances connected with Inkerman, and told us that a ball had penetrated his over- coat, but had glanced off, in consequence of striking against a gold cuff-button of his shirt. He was suffering from aguish symp- toms, but looked well, considering the amount of rough work which he had gone through.
