They literally lined up the settlers along an imaginary line, and they fired off a gun, and the settlers roared across the countryside and put down a stake, and wherever they put down that stake, that was their new home.
Literalmente alinearon a los colonos a lo largo de una línea imaginaria y dispararon un arma, y los colonos iban rugiendo por la campiña y clavaron una estaca, y adonde quiera que clavaran esa estaca, ese era su nuevo hogar.
