Her boy stood on the burning deck, Mrs! (6)
I believe the answer is:
hemans
'her' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'boy stood on the burning deck mrs' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'boy' could be 'man' and 'man' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hes' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
