As our friend debriswoman is fond of saying, 'it works on many levels' but my thought when I wrote it was that Holmes had, during the Hiatus, been some kind of sailor, got into some Trouble, and was marooned on an island, made himself a boat, and was near death and delusional at this point, but, yes, I imagined Something Miraculous happened after this point and he survived. It was mainly just a vehicle to give him extreme scurvy so that his old wounds would open up.
