What was the reaction of Doctor Livesey to the "snatch" of sound in the final chapter of Treasure Island?In the last chapter, Jim says that as he...

As usual, Dr. Livesey was ready to administer medical aid
once again, if necessary, even to the remaining, desperate mutineers. In this particular
scene, when "it was only a snatch that reached our ears," the word "snatch" is probably
used in the sense that only a portion or a fragment of the shrieking/singing sound was
heard. The doctor, and Long John Silver, believed the mutineers to be "drunk or raving,"
which, in this case, meant "raving mad."

The doctor claimed
that if he were certain they were mad or in medical need, then he would go to treat
them. Silver warned the doctor that he would be killed by the three mutineers if he
went, but the doctor retorted that Silver's opinion could not be trusted. Anyway, the
doctor did not return to help them, but he did leave them a good supply of tobacco
before the ship set sail.
