.... 18a is not an anagram.

16d - 2 letter "jacked from fleece" reversed/turned up inside 4 letter "bedroom" (at a boarding school, for example) - definition is "buckle" as a verb.

13a - no, not an anagram

15d - 4 letter anagram/rogue inside 4 letter vessel - definition is "disinfectant"

Hi Rocky,

1d - single letter "one + 5 letter "one dwelt" both reversed/towards the north then 2 letter "case of Scotch" - definition is "very bad" as in very naughty

..... Sorry Rocky -

single letter "one" then 5 letter "dwelt" ......

Sorry for typo Roof,

16d - I meant "jacket from fleece"

Thanks Brendan. Makes sense. But I had the wrong ending to 11a. I can't quite work out how 11a works in that case.

Thanks Rocky,

11a - hidden.

That's very funny because Ishi was a Native American too. Explains why I haven't got 5d either. 😁

Ishi isn't hidden though? Isho is though.

And if you have the theme (there are 13 across clues so 8D refers to all of them) you would have known that neither of those answers would be correct ;)

Many thanks to Brendan for his generous hints.

I had already solved 12ac and 15d and I knew the second word of 18ac, but I haven't heard of the full answer. I now have 1d and 15d. So, many more letters, but still no theme.

I'll have another go and come back later.

Should have, could have. Been the story of this puzzle for me. Just haven't been on the tip at all. 🤔🤔
