Hi All,

Got a couple of answers I don't understand:

4d) Routine Service date over in Illinois city (7)

I assume the answer is DeCaTur - but I can't figure out why

19d) Swimmer holding line in bilge (7)

I assume the answer is PoAcHeR - but again I'm not sure I understand why

Finally 15a) Hit on chart a chart without pictures (5)

r-A-H - I think this is "reach", though I think that is a very tentative definition of "hit on"

Any help very gratefully received (btw where I've put capitals I am sure of the letters)

Thanks,

Paul.

Blather - I think your initial p must be wrong

You are quite right, it should have been a "B"!
