9a. Roman conspirator gets nothing for a barge.(5). C?S?O.
Any thoughts?

CASCA was a conspirator in Julias caesars death; replace A with O for either COSCA or CASCO but can't finsd a connection with barge!

Casca (Julius Ceasar)

very tenuous but there is a ship connection;

Sorry, forgot about changing O for A. A Casco is a kind of barge

Thanks Rosalind ( I run a Shakespeare group and we are just starting 'As you like it' so Rosaliind will feature big time in coming weeks!) and paul. I had earlier Googled 'Casco' but answer was 'Spanish for rump'.!
Thanks again.

I felt very at home in Orlando's bar in St Agatha, near Sorrento!
I Googled "casco" and "barge", which led me to the web site of the society of bargeowners or something like that. What did crossword solvers do before Google?

Sorrento and a bellini cocktail sounds good in this freezing weather, Rosalind. However, I shall try to complete Sat Guardian Xword, set by Orlando - spooky.!
