Barrie henchman (4)
I believe the answer is:
smee
'barrie henchman' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for smee that I've seen before include "pirate > BIRD" , "Captain Hook's mate" , "Literary pirate" , "Hook's bo'sun (Peter Pan)" , "Stage boatswain" .)
