[Otleybard]

Once again, the last two have got me stumped.

38a Have waves, not mere spray, come overboard on to a boat. (4,2,5) s?i? / i? / g?e?n

39a A salt of HSCN (9) s?o?a?a?e

Thanks in advance.

Ship in green
Rhodanate

[Catron]

Ship it green

[Otleybard]

Thanks, both of you.

Does anyone want to submit a casting vote for 'in' or 'it'?

[Otleybard]

Just noticed, does that mean 35d is 'assayer' rather than 'assessor'?

[Otleybard]

Oh, sorry to take up space with this gibberish. Of course it's not 'assayer'.

[Rose Maybud]

35d could be 'assurer'??

[Rose Maybud]

38a Chambers has 'ship IT green'.

[sarumite]

Hi Otleybard

I reckon the answers in question (confirmed by Chambers) are .......

SHIP IT GREEN : RHODANATE : ASSURER

At least that's what I've decided on! :O)

[Otleybard]

Thanks, Rose Maybud and sarumite.

I really must invest in a more comprehensive edition of Chambers!
