Possessions at marina damaged: he stops to help? (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
good samaritan
'to help?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'possessions at marina damaged' is the wordplay.
'possessions' becomes 'goods' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'at'+'marina'='atmarina'
'atmarina' with letters rearranged gives 'amaritan'.
'goods'+'amaritan'='GOOD SAMARITAN'
'he stops' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for good samaritan that I've seen before include "Benevolent person" , "Biblical character" , "Voluntarily helpful and sympathetic person" , "One kindly rescuing" , "helpful type" .)
