Protected, at sea (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alee

'protected at sea' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for alee that I've seen before include "Nautical term" , "On the sheltered side (of a ship)" , "On ship's sheltered side" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
