...hope that the famished Kiyoshi would partake of it, fall off. Finally the owners of the factory, realizing that for the honor of Tokyo Kiyoshi must come down, agreed to reinstate the discharged workmen. Police screamed the news through megaphones. Stiffly victorious Kiyoshi Tanabe climbed down, his mouth parched white with thirst. Correspondents noted that he had been aloft exactly 129 hours, Japan's all-time chimney-sitting record...
