Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne (11 May 1866 – 10 March 1944) was an English novelist who was also known by the pen name Weatherby Chesney. He is perhaps best remembered as the author of The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis. He is also remembered for his Captain Kettle stories and for The Recipe for Diamonds.
Cutcliffe Hyne would probably have been forgotten but for the American science fiction fans such as Sprague de Camp. They republished "The Lost Continent" without permission, which was possible because of the then American copyright law. And that led to the republishing of his other stories.
