Ratan: naval gunfire covers a Swedish withdrawal

The Swedes fell back from Sävar to Ratan and prepared for another battle near their ships. Kamensky attacked to delay them while arranging his own retreat before the other Swedish force arrived. Swedish field artillery was available at Ratan, together with the navy's guns, after its absence from the preceding battle. Their barrage devastated parts of the village and surrounding countryside and helped repel the Russians. Kamensky then withdrew north toward Piteå, leaving Sweden with a costly victory.
