No, but you have some elements right.

You are correct on all counts - and my bad, of course it is plural, don't know what I was thinking.
(All the clues? Not necessarily. But as I said above, the river is the same river).



1. Cross half a river and one more, going erratically north with him. (5)
2. He steals back north after one short night. (4)
3. There is half a river and a whole man. (4)
4. Alone, before you steal back. (5)
5. He plays a harp haphazardly over halfway into the river. (4)
6. He crosses half a river with one going north, and thus gains one for naught. (8)
7. AGLAROND: Three quarters of a river mix with a gland in a cave. (6)
8. He crossed half a river and one more, going round ‘n round without you. (4)
9. After you steal back, go north with these people. (4)
10. He takes a cloth to the other half of the river, in where it’s at. (6)
