Gentle pull (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tug

(Other definitions for tug that I've seen before include "A sharp pull or a towing boat" , "Pull jerkily" , "Pull at, or a boat that pulls" , "draw with some effort" , "Pull hard or suddenly" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
