The definition is also Carroll's lead.
This is one where part of the clue serves two purposes
Actually the whole clue is the definition (as well as giving the word play)
I like that last clue. It's cleverly constructed.

Thank you all very much. I thought the answers were dogs breakfast and possibly Oates but didn’t know of Oates as an explorer. I do now. Thanks again
You'd not heard of Captain Oates?

As in “I am just going outside and I may be some time” when he left the tent to die knowing he was a burden on the rest of the expedition.
