In a drunken midnight rampage, Canadian officer cadet Chris Stewardson smashed into the building thinking it was his lodgings and his friends had locked him out.

The incident, which terrified terminally ill patients, happened last week while he was in Bermuda as part of a visiting rugby team.

Now the 19-year-old has returned to the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, where his superiors have disciplined him for "unbecoming conduct''.

For the next 30 days he must take part in a 6.30 a.m. drill.

He must not leave the college, and when outside on campus, he must run rather than walk.

He must wear a special uniform, kept in spotless condition, and be subject to inspections and daily roll calls.

"It's a harsh punishment that's not given out lightly,'' said assistant to the commandant Capt. Guy Parent. "Obviously he's sorry about it and feels bad.'' Stewardson told Bermuda Police that after a night on the town he thought he had arrived at the US Base, where his team was staying.

The team has given the hospice $1,000 for damage he caused.
