Question about one of the final scenes. (possible spoiler)

In one of the last scenes where the uncle is diving, who is asleep and snoring in the boat?

How is it that Mud never ran out of smokes while living alone on that island? the boys never brought him cigs.

His friend. They showed him during the early part of the movie.

The guy he works with. I'm actually curious as to who found Mud, because in the first shot we see of his body, Michal Shannon's character, Uncle Galen spotted him while under the water. But Mud is recovered, and it's Sam Shepard who has him and take him out into the open waters (I presumed his real true love). The coming of age message of this film was that love can be a back stabber XD

I've thought about that ever since seeing the film, I think that we're led to believe that it was Tom Blankenship that left after the gun fight and found him. The reason being that Galen sees him underwater and pulls on his cord which rings the bell on the boat and his friend is asleep, presumably drunk since we see several empty beer cans strewn around him. So Galen can't get back up to the boat to go and get Mud, also Galen has no knowledge of Mud throughout the film (other than seeing the boys with him that one time on the island) so he wouldn't know to save him or help him. He also has the speech about "trash washing up from the river" and it's presumed he would not help Mud since that's what he's really talking about. And they also mention that Tom hasn't been seen since the night of the gun fight. I'm guessing that after the fight, Tom takes off in his boat, finds Mud downriver and takes him to the island where the boat is, patches him up and they take off together.

I see now. But at the same time in the end Reese Witherspoon AND freedom just wasn't the way out? It was one or the other for Mud?
