Another Carter, also named John, made it to London and, in Dick Whittington fashion, became a prosperous wine merchant. As befitted a new gentleman, he applied for a coat of arms in 1612; Carter Lane, off Fleet Street, still bears his name...

French troops turned over a few barracks to the Djibouti army, but only after removing air conditioners, overhead fans and even fuses in an unnecessary show of Gallic arrogance. Some of the decrepit, stone, Arab-style buildings downtown got a new coat of whitewash, and a few strings of colored lights went up. But five days before the festivities no flags of the new republic were in evidence. They were being made in France and would not arrive until the last minute...
