The tone of quotes 1-3 is mysterious. Some words that add to the tone are (quote 1) "bizarre things, charms, gifts of witch-men" and (quote 2) "they had faces like grotesque masks" and (quote 3) "deathlike indifference". These words all have strange connotations and represent things that are unfamiliar.
The tone of the fourth quote is scared and then it changes to amazed. At first, he says "while I stood horror-struck". You can imagine from these words that he is disgusted and bit frightened of the people he's describing. Then when he talks about the white man he says "he was amazing". He does this to contrast the natives with the white people.
By "othering" another country, the people become unified because they share a similar belief.
