Sailor finds way to get out of the country (6)
I believe the answer is:
abroad
'out of the country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sailor finds way' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'finds' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'way' becomes 'road' (road is a kind of way).
'ab'+'road'='ABROAD'
'to get' is the link.
(Other definitions for abroad that I've seen before include "Pole would be so" , "over a wide area" , "out of UK?" , "in France, say" , "In foreign land" .)
