Is your A correct?
Rio (port) tin (vessel) and g (first of galleon) gives "rioting", which fits the sense.

Your answer is good AB . I had the "A" from 29a Old dog snared by non-drinking party animal - thought that was ex (old) tt (non drinker) with raver (party animal inside) I see now that "rover" was the dog and the defn was party animal! Thanks once again for sorting me out!

As you wished help rather than the answer, think paper as MS and a clue as a lead. Mix to order and a girl emerges.
