indefatigable

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

'staying' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'alert in canvas shelter i've positioned by headland' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for indefatigable that I've seen before include "Unflagging" , "Unremitting" , "Persistent" , "Tireless" , "Assiduous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
