The Lost Continent
The Story of Atlantis
The Lost Continent, published in 1900, is C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne's novel of the last days of Atlantis. The story is framed as a manuscript found in a cave in the Canary Islands and told by Deucalion, a soldier and priest who is recalled from governing the colony of Yucatan to serve the new empress Phorenice. He finds the capital given over to her ambition, the priesthood divided and the common people in revolt, and the empress has decided that Deucalion will marry her. Hyne's Atlantis has mammoths, flying lizards and a strict order of priests who know the island is doomed. It is an adventure story with a cold, memorable ending.
