Sorry guys. I'm a total let down today and struggling badly. Any pointers?


1a Like so _ _ _ _
11a Turns crew _ _ _ _ _

1d Box for jack _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
8d 1across: a prize book _ _ _ _ _ _
20d pats? (origins lost in time) _ _ _ _ _ _

Could 1 be "thus"?

We now know that Pats are ostmen because they are Irish(pat) but I thought they were Danish

Yes, Tony. They were Danish settlers in Ireland.

Could the turns one be screw ? (contained in clue)
and the prize book be Booker ? (from Booker Prize for Literature)

!ac - such
!d sea chest
Prize book - the sea ????
Turns - hands
