Clue Chain 4

[Canary42]

 

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

We will start with Hazlinny's

study a vessel and direct (7)

[elliemay1]

I'm offline for a while so if you think you're correct please continue the chain

[Canary42]

conduit

study = con

duit = do it = direct

conduit = vessel

(a bit flaky so I'm not confident, what is the general view?)

[Canary42]

Too flaky I've decided and will go instead for :-

 

 

conduct

study=con

vessel = duct

conduct = direct

 

 

I'm more certain that I'm right so will dig out another clue to keep the thread rolling.
