Having trouble parsing these, help appreciated....

9a. Not quite the news thirsty old traveller wanted to hear? (4, 4) - WELL NIGH (I think)

I could understand it if it said something that indicated the well was dry, but why is it being 'Nigh' a disappointment? - or have I got it wrong?

4d. Like a son fleeing building again? (10) - RESEMBLING (Like)

9 Def. "Not quite"; the thristy traveller etc. would like to hear that a well was nigh.

RE(as)SEMBLING

Got it, thanks Chris.
