Got 11a Desolately
13d _ _ N_P_T_ _ _ but could be wrong!!!!

16. stowaway

[Mamyalynne]

13d omnipotent?? doesnt really fit the clue

[ripvanwinkle]

i think 4d is cell mate
i can't get 13d but I have t?l?p?t???
the only thing I can find is telepathic but it doesn't feel right and then the only thing I can think of for 25 across is jemima but why?

[sedge47]

What is the clue for 25A ?

[ripvanwinkle]

25a she put the duck back in water - sorry I omitted the clue!

[sedge47]

Jemima Puddleduck is a Beatrix Potter character so it's probably right

[lizwhiz1]

could 25a be canada?

[Catron]

Selina

[ripvanwinkle]

thanks I'm going to go with jemima - as it's the only one that seems to fit - the letters are ?e?i?a.

[sedge47]

Catron's answer must be right - nil backwards in sea

[ripvanwinkle]

selina does fit but how does that fit with the clue?

[ripvanwinkle]

thanks sedge I see that now!
