what does 'Tas' mean? Might start with Pan for cook's vessel

[hibiscusrose]

Hi Prudie,
I took it to mean Tasmania, as this is an Australian paper that the crossword is in.

Thanks
Ann

Could it be Pandanus ?

[hibiscusrose]

Hi the winner,
The 'U' at the end is the first letter of another word.

We hear the bell tolls for her (4)
pattern:
- - L -
(starting with U from pandanus if that is correct)

regards
Ann

Pandanus fits the wordplay but I think Pandani is the Tasmanian heath plant. Pandanus is a different plant altogether but I think it must be the right answer.

Hi Ann, I have to go out, will check back later.

[hibiscusrose]

Hi,
I've put 'PANDANIS' in and the 'I' near the end makes the word needed for this is:
We hear the bell tolls for her (4)
pattern:
- - L -

Thank you so much for all your help.
regards
Ann

Nell sounds like knell

[Calibax]

Pandani can also be spelt pandanny which fits the wordplay for New York.
If that makes the other clue start with N it could be something like Nelly (sounds like knell?)

[Calibax]

*Nell

[hibiscusrose]

Hi Calibax & Sandy Roe,

I put pandanny in ages ago and it came up as nothing, but when I put it in as pandani-pandanny it came up trumps!!

Also, Thank you NELL. I never thought about Knell being her & bell chime.

Thank you once again
Ann
