    I am going to make a wild guess at an underwater vent that creates a bulge on the sea floor and has gas coming from the middle.

    Edit: Lol I am so wrong!

    Oh, you make me laugh. What an imagination!


    WRONG.

    What is a Sea pie?

    There are two correct answers to this.

    Answer one is a salt water pie (pastry made with salt water)

    Answer two is yours I assume, a pie used before refrigeration and salted to make it last longer. This made it useful on ships, hence the name sea pie. Not a clue what was in it though.

    If I am wrong I have run out of ideas

    Not where I'm headed.

    This Sea Pie can be seen in Ireland any day of the year.

    Lone Ranger
    Roy Rodgers
    Gene Autry

    Probably Hopalong Cassidy

    For Hero the only one I can recall is from a film about a WWII horse but that seems out of tune with the others.

    Pipped by Johnboy1951. Yep, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and the "Loan Arranger", I completely forgot about Hopalong, but I'm sure you're right. Hero is a new one on me though. By the time Clint Eastwood came along they had forgotten how important the horses were. By the way, anyone remember who rode Scout?

    A mask? A feather? A guitar? A white hat? A song in his heart?

    Zoro had a mask but his horse was Tornado IIRC ....... cannot recall any horse called Hero from the cowboy genre.

    What I was trying to recall originally was "A Horse Called Hero", so still lost :D That is becoming a natural state recently :)

    The mention of 'Kit' makes me think of Kit Carson. Gosh, I sure know a lot of cowboys!

    It is indeed the Phantom aka "the ghost who walks" or Mr. Walker when he occasionally forays into civilian life from his base in the African jungle.
    A garland each to Johnboy1951 for bringing home four of the heroes and to eisenberg1 for finishing the job.
