The Recipe for Diamonds (1894)
Principally concerned with the adventures of two men, one of whom comes y accident to the knowledge that the recipe for making diamonds has been hidden in Minorca by an old alchemist who flourished in he twelfth century. His companion in the quest is one Haigh, an erratic genius as far as music is concerned, and a gentlemanly tramp in all other matters. With them, and opposed to them alternately, is a man of the name of Weems, a most repulsive specimen of humanity, and the meanest little skunk under the sun.
The Adventures of Captain Kettle (1898)
Captain Kettle is a most engaging scoundrel. Small, truculent, with a little red beard, he has a code of honour which causes him to stick at nothing in his employer's interests, and is always pulling him up when he is on the point of making his own fortune. Ashore he goes regularly to chapel, loves Mrs. Kettle, and fears God. At sea he swears horribly, fears nothing, and is surprisingly handy with a revolver.
A Master of Fortune (1898)
Nobody who has followed the gallant sailor--diminutive, but oh, my!--in his previous adventures around the earth, is going to miss this red-hot volume of marvelous exploits.
The Filibusters (1900)
This story deals with the participants in an expedition that successfully captures the presidency of a Central American republic. It is very exciting, the incidents being fresh and daring with not too much reliance placed on coincidence.
The Lost Continent (1900)
A classic "lost race" story, with all of the required elements: a seductive empress, a straight-arrow hero, battles, escapes, sorcery, and earth-shattering cataclysms! Eminently readable and very entertaining, without any profundity to distract a fan of Haggard, Aubrey, or Janvier-style fantasy literature.
Atoms of Empire (1904)
The wandering Englishman, the atom of empire, at sundry ends of the earth is not always good company in the flesh, but in Mr. Cutcliffe Hyne's stories he is good company. For the reader is not in the position of the "native"; he is, on the contrary, elected of the company of proper Britons and talked to as an equal. Those who try this book will have no sharp regrets.
