Perhaps fät might be the word fet - the use of e vs ä was very inconsistent during the 19th century. Its most common meaning is fat, but SAOB also says it can mean powerful or emphatic, so in that case it's a further emphasis on how scared he was.
In my 1969 slang dictionary, fet is listed as a rather generic emhasising word, especially used in sports slang.
