Would appreciate help in parsing:

rebels getting right sign about development (15). REVOLUTIONARIES

unknown book possessed by sailor (7 OBSCURE

completely consumed, filled with endless bad temper (9) ALLEVIATE

As usual, I understand bits but not all.

Thanks!

R = Right
Aries = sign (star sign)
Evolution = development.

R evolution aries.

You've left out Correct in the second clue
B= book
OS = ordinary sailor
CURE = correct

unknown (obscure)
b(ook) consumed by OS (ordinary seaman) + cure

ALL = completely
ATE = consumed
EVI(L) = bad
TEMPER = definition

alleviate
completely - all
consumed - ate
endless bad - evi(l)

Thanks so much, jazzgirl, rosin and malone. It all makes sense now.
