 These mayors are superb and proud . They displayed themselves to us with stiff and stern faces , and wide @-@ open mouths . Jaunty and audacious of gait , they would scarcely move a foot before us . Their war weapon was their mouth , with which they could bite fiercely ; their food was fruit ; they were not well feathered but abundantly covered with fat . Many of them were brought onboard to the delight of us all .
