Ba rge Rig Capsizes In

GRAN D ISLE, La. (AP) - A work
barge r i g capsized in the Gulf of Mexico
in rouf'h seas early today, and four
crewman were reported missing, the
Coast G i uard said.
Six icither crewmen on the barge
escaped by scrambling to a nearby
•Chevro r i oil rig, the Coast Guard said.
“Thr (le of the missing were seen swim-
ming in the water immediately after
the accident,” Chevron spokesman
The c:: rew was pitched overboard in the
predav' n darkness when the. “jackup”
type bn rge capsized 17 miles southwest
of Grand Isle, said Petty Officer Doug
Bandos of the Coast Guard’s Search and
Rescue Center in New Orleans.
The 1 large, on 90-foot legs, was being
used to sandblast a Chevron oil drilling
platform beside it when the accident oc-
curred, he said.
Heavy seas and winds pushed, by a
growing tropical depression hampered
the search for the missing men. -
Coast Guard helicopters and rescue
boats were battling seas up to 12 feet and
winds as high as 35 miles and hour,
Schindler said.
After capsizing, the rig drifted about a
mile and came to rest against the
Chevron platform containing 24
workers, Schindler said. He said drilling
work there was shut down, but no one on
that platform was in danger.
The Coast Guard was alerted to the ac-
cident at 3:46 a.m. CST.
Grand Isle is on the southeast Loui-
siana coast, about 60 miles south of New
Orleans.

“Early to bed, early to

Friday for "Buddy”
Jones, Baytown Sun
pressroom foreman.
He got up early to go to
San Jacinto Hospital to
see his first grandchild -
a girl born at 2:11 a.m.
Friday.
Grandpa Red, a Sun
employee 28 years, called
the asyet unnamed infant
"the prettiest little girl in
the world,” a sentiment
echoed by her parents,
Patrick and Laurie
McDonald of 3 Lanes End
in Baytown.
At work at the Sun
bright and early Friday,
Red said, "1 feel like a
grandpa. I feel old this
morning.
The child, who got here
four days before she was
due, tipped the scales at
eight pounds, two ounces.
Besides Buddy and
JoAnn Jones, the other
grandparents are Edith
McDonald and Herb
McDonald, botjj^of
Baytown.
As any new parents can
attest, having a baby
means 2 a.m. feedings
and dirtydiapers.
For Red, the best thing
about being a grandfather
is that he doesn’t have to
change those diapers.
Congratulations, Red!
