14 dingbat

D(o)ing bat (winged creature)

Best I can find for Port = Tune, is

PORT

DEFINITION

An ethnic term for an instrumental composition usually performed on the harp

but I don't possess a Chambers, or the lik, so can't verify further.

Captain2,  a very similar definition to yours (port = tune) is the seventh definition in Chambers.

Thanks, NaC. One day, perhaps, I'll invest in a Chambers.

Question Author

Thanks all. Finished now. Spotted my mistake in the crosser for dingbat. And thanks for the Chambers research!
