members, some of them were subjected to a hilarious punishment
The corp members had overslept while others were at the parade ground.
So far gone were they in their sleep that they didn't hear the sound
of the beagle and others rushing off to the parade ground.
They were caught after the soldiers went round their hostels, and
rounded off to the parade ground after they were allowed to dress up
in their white on white.
However the soldiers ordered the corp members to carry their
mattresses along with them.
On getting to the parade ground, they were asked to put it on their
heads while marching round the parade ground several times, after
which they were asked to put the mattresses down and continue their
sleep in the full glare of everyone present.
