    I seriously read it as hitting some furs hung up to dampen the balls travel and take some of the velocity out of it much like the rolled hammocks along the sides of a ship.
    Your version is much more entertaining than a few fir trees Jonas.
    I only wish my Swedish was as good as your English, which is better than a lot of English people that I know.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
