Prince Pyotr Lepukhin of Russia was awarded his country's highest honor for humanism because he prohibited flogging of people over 70 years old. Sailors have always been superstitious, and perhaps one reason is the story of the Paris C. Brown. She was a riverboat, plying the waters between Plaquemine and Cincinnati. While tied up at Plaquemine in July 1889, two rats were seen slithering down the lines off the boat. Three crewmen who saw this, prompted by superstition, also walked off. The only survivors of the Paris C. Brown, which sailed and vanished. Believe It or Not!
