'one brother returned some waders?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'one brother returned' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'brother' becomes 'sib' (short for sibling).
'returned' is a reversal indicator.
'sib' backwards is 'bis'.
'i'+'bis'='IBIS'
