Eg Henry’s report of labourer chased by dangerous reptile (9)
I believe the answer is:
navigator
'eg henry's' is the definition.
(as in Prince Henry the Navigator, 1394 - 1460)
'report of labourer chased by dangerous reptile' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for navigator that I've seen before include "Prince Henry, say" , "sailor" , "For example, Henry" , "Pilot" , "crew member" .)
