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

'one hiding on it' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'two saw a drunk heading for yacht' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'heading for' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'yacht' is 'y'.
'two'+'saw'+'a'='twosawa'
'twosawa' with letters rearranged gives 'stowawa'.
'stowawa'+'y'='STOWAWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?
