It was not like a land battle where the cavalry could pound across the field to leave a plume of dust and horse artillery slewed about in a spray of earth.

Matt slewed about, blocking the door.

It slewed about, spraying oil and moss from under its wheels.

A cheer for the gunners' escape went up from the two allied squares, then the guns slewed about in an eruption of grass and dust to open fire again on their erstwhile pursuers.

The sword in his hand encumbered him and weighed him down on the right side, so that he slewed about in a wide half-circle.

The track's turret slewed about, its 40-mm cannon probing the smoke which hung like thick fog across the top of the ridge.

Now, with frightening speed it slewed about and pointed directly at him.

The latter was now slewing mindlessly about on its own axis in a welter of gray ichor and white sand.
