Present carriers with stable bearings (5,4,3)
I believe the answer is:
three wise men
'present carriers' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'with stable bearings' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found in the answer.
'bearings' could be 'ee' (symbol for a compass bearing written twice) and 'ee' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for three wise men that I've seen before include "Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar" , "Magi" , "Christmas visitors" .)
