Conducted out of the jungle depths (3)
I believe the answer is:
led
'conducted' is the definition.
('lead' can be a synonym of 'conduct')
'of the jungle depths' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LED' is hidden within 'jungle depths'.
'out' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for led that I've seen before include "Shown the way" , "Paved the way" , "associated with Zeppelin" , "Took by the hand and showed the way" , "Something emitting light" .)
