Confused (again)
If 16d is Dunbar ("gloomy pub in Scottish town") as suggested in a previous thread
then how come 18a ("Stephano crashed carriage") isn't an anagram of Stephano = phaetons. A phaeton is a carriage, admittedly only a single one.
Help!

Anagrams must have been popular in the 17th century. ; )
