4 more to do and my head is spinning. Would prefer an explanation as to how you arrived at the answer, rather than just tell me the answer. Is it called parsing?
Here goes......
A) In port, I look back on voyage (7) T*I*O*I. Is it Tripoli? If so, why?
B) Conservative truth through meditation into very big tricks (6) *O*E*S
C) Emerge slowly, rather inclined to lose time (4) *E*P.
D) Plump priest's into climbing (3) O*T

A. I LO = I look/behold/see, back means to reverse it, after voyage, Trip. Trip ol I.

C. Seep, emerge slowly. Steep = rather inclined, drop the 't' ('lose time'), so becomes Seep.

B. Cozens - I saw this answered earlier. It's C = Conservative, OS = very big/outsize and Zen = meditation.
