这里的his being in possession of it是什么成分呢,这里该如何翻译?

Well, the brothers chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who  should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it.

麻烦老师分析一下这个句子,翻译的很乱。这句话中的his being in possession of it是什么成分呢,这里该如何翻译?

感谢老师!

这是电影《百万富翁》的剧情介绍。no way to account for his being in possession of it. account for=explain, 需要一个宾语,his being in possession of it 为动名词复合结构作account for的宾语。无法解释他拥有这张百万英镑的钞票。
