Had huge trouble with this today, but finished - I think. Need clarifications, please, on 23d "Substance hot after excavation" -I-H and 27a "Song sung by sailors in hut" for which I have shanty but the obvious seems wrong somehow. Any explanations or corrections will be gratefully received.

Pith - Pit H


Shanty double def

Think of a SHANTY town!

Thanks to you both. Both pith and shanty seemed right but wrong at the same time! Thanks for the clarifications - obvious once explained, but never at the time!
