However in the end, the petition didn't get enough signatures. So the lighthouse was closed. So he gave up and throw away to key to the lighthouse, and it fell down the cliff. But his daughter wanted to keep it. So his daughter risked her life climbing down the cliff to retrieve the key, but she fell down the cliff and died.
