"probably in his later 30s, with a "bagged" tiger, possibly one of the notorious man-eaters that "infested" the Gopeng district, which he became famous locally for fearlessly hunting down, Jim Corbett-style. Cyril died suddenly of peritonitis in 1907, aged only 40, and is buried at the Christian cemetery in Kuala Lumpur. According to Robert Shaw, one of his two living UK-based grandsons, the gravestone is still in existence at the cemetery. This particular branch of the Ceylon-Burgher (Galle-based) Ephraums family has no members still living in Malaysia, but it is possible that direct descendants of one or two first cousins from Galle, Ceylon (sons of a brother of Cyril and Wilfred's father who - according to vague reports - both moved independently to the Straits Settlements as young men in the later 1800s) may still live in Singapore, with the Ephraums surname."

interesting website about Malaysian Dutch descendants

This was taken in India in 1928. Killing a tiger was the highlight of many big-game hunters’ lives. Killing a few tigers on a self-guided hunt from a primitive treestand must have been even more satisfying—especially if it was done wearing nothing but Speedos! One cannot help but wonder if this eccentric English gentleman found inspiration for his hunting adventure in Tarzan of the Apes, published 16 years earlier. He definitely seems to have gone back to basics—and successfully so! Two tigers, a leopard, a nice sambar trophy, and a recently killed sambar cow for the pot or bait is not a bad bag on a single hunting trip.

According to the notes on the back of the small picture, he shot the animals by stalking and from primitive treestands. A safer and more traditional (but costly) approach would have been to hunt the big cats from the back of an elephant. Maybe that was too ordinary for the rather extraordinary hunter whose hair gel budget probably could have covered the cost of a normal safari.
