Let $\hat { a }$ be a unit vector perpendicular to the vector $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { b } } = \hat { i } - 2 \hat { j } + 3 \hat { k }$ and $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { c } } = 2 \hat { i } + 3 \hat { j } - \hat { k }$, and makes an angle of $\cos ^ { - 1 } \left( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right)$ with the vector $\hat { i } + \hat { j } + \hat { k }$. If $\hat { a }$ makes an angle of $\frac { \pi } { 3 }$ with the vector $\hat { i } + \alpha \hat { j } + \hat { k }$, then the value of $\alpha$ is :
(1) $\sqrt { 6 }$
(2) $- \sqrt { 6 }$
(3) $- \sqrt { 3 }$
(4) $\sqrt { 3 }$
