bermuda shorts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'items found on the beach?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'humber mud a short story involving' is the wordplay.
'involving' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'involves' mean this).
'BERMUDA SHORTS' is hidden in the letters of 'humber mud a short story'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bermuda shorts that I've seen before include "Attire not quite knee-length" , "Trousers that end at the knees" , "Formal trousers reaching almost to the knee" , "Knee-length garment" , "beachwear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
