Much more information about Mylrea in the Dicksons' books and see the
Arabian Mission's "Neglected Arabia". Mylrea, Dykstra, the Calverleys and
Thoms were household names in the Gulf. Certainly before WW11 few
westerners had such good contacts in , and knowledge of, Najd and the
interior of Oman or, for that matter, the Gulf States in general.
