Are you sure of the letters?

[gordiescotland1]

yes i am

[factor-fiction]

I saw three ships if the letters aren't quite right

[Baldric]

I believe the letters are correct factor!

[factor-fiction]

The letters give I SAW THALE SHIPS
I'm sure your AL should be RE
Were the letters given by the setter?

[factor-fiction]

I know from many other threads in Crosswords (not geordie's though), Baldric, that being certain of the letters doesn't always mean they are all correct.

[factor-fiction]

I can see whiplash in there so maybe there's a solution I've missed

[Baldric]

Yeah, but Gordies really positive!

[factor-fiction]

Are you absolutely sure of the letters, geordie, or just pretty sure?

[aelmpvw]

i'm pretty sure that there is a mistake with the letters :-)

[Baldric]

It really does look like 1xA and the L are wrong, giving you,
I saw three ships, I think factor was right

[JandyAF]

The letters I got were HASEWIERPSITSH, the first I from 40A India, the second E from 36D serum, and the R from 43D Granada, making I SAW THREE SHIPS.

Thanks Jandy. Maybe there was a misprint/smudge on Gordie's copy
