Press reports quote the well known Chapel Hill man: “I’m staying aboard until the schooner goes down or off.” John P. Hazzard of Chapel Hill, who bought the 103-foot schooner Dec. 1 and had the bad luck to have his vessel go aground just a few weeks after his insurance had lapsed, gave his account of the grounding nearly Friday: “We left Sandy Hook Wednes* day and on Thursday our direc _tjpn finder went out about 11 p m. We thought we took a bearing on Hog Island off Eastern Shore, but as it turned out ' we took in the Chesapeake light ship. Our Sails were up and our power was on when we struck the beach at about 12 knots. “My brother, W. B. Hazzard, was on lookout and the crewiqan, Jack Ward'of Daytona,Beach, Fla., ‘ f ■.-.-af tHE-.~Tr-.Ta;-- . .,-i was at the wheel. Visibility was bad and we were taking seas over the side: I- was knocked down three times trying to get up on deck after we hit. We heeled over to an angle of 50 degrees and then, when we tried. to get the sails down, they hung and we had to cut the lines and sails to get the canvas down. We’ve been here ever since. And I’d like to say that regardless of whether we get off or not the Coast Guard has cer tainly done everything in their power to assist us in every way: They’ve been wonderful to us." However, both the Coast Guard and Hazzard are confident that the Gee Gee III will get back into deep water. What .they both want is another spell of nasty weather, preferably a Northeaster. A Coast Guardsman explained that the Gee Gee III is anchored with firmly held heavy anchors and won’t go up on the beach again. A Northeaster would bring in high water, heh said, and thus -permit her to ride safely over a sand bar with only nine fee|„of water.
