               This Amendment No. 6 to Statement on Schedule 13D heretofore
          filed  on December 13, 1990, as  amended by Amendment No. 1 filed
          on January  7,  1993, Amendment  No.  2 filed  on  May 19,  1993,
          Amendment No. 3  filed on June 17, 1993, Amendment No. 4 filed on
          February 24, 1995,  and Amendment  No. 5 filed  May 18, 1995,  is
          being  filed  by Peter  Cundill  & Associates  (Bermuda)  Ltd., a
          Bermuda   corporation    ("PCB"),   Cundill   Value    Fund,   an
          unincorporated mutual fund trust governed by the  laws of British
          Columbia (which  is the continuation of and  successor to Cundill
          Value Fund Ltd.) ("Value Fund"), Peter Cundill Holdings (Bermuda)
          Ltd., a Bermuda corporation ("Holdings"), and F. Peter Cundill, a
          Canadian  citizen residing  in  England ("Cundill")  (PCB,  Value
          Fund, Holdings and Cundill are sometimes also referred  to herein
          individually  as a  "Reporting Person"  and  collectively as  the
          "Reporting Persons"), to reflect amendments to Items 3 and 5.

          ITEM 3  IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED TO  READ AS FOLLOWS IN ITS
          ENTIRETY:

          Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                    The Shares herein reported as being beneficially  owned
          by the Reporting Persons were acquired as follows:

                    (1)  Acting  on behalf of  Value Fund, PCB  purchased a
               total of  761,900 Shares in open market  transactions for an
               aggregate consideration (exclusive  of brokers' commissions)
               of  $963,997.58.   To the  best knowledge  of the  Reporting
               Persons, the funds  used in such  purchases were from  Value
               Fund's existing available investment capital and none of the
               consideration  for such  Shares was represented  by borrowed
               funds.

                         Individually  PCB does not  beneficially own 5% or
               more  of the  Shares.    Due  to the  investment  management
               services provided by PCB to  Value Fund, PCB could be deemed
               a   beneficial  owner  of   all  Shares  purchased   in  the
               transactions described in subitem (1) above.

                    All dollar amounts are in United States dollars.

          ITEM 5 IS HEREBY AMENDED AND  RESTATED TO READ AS FOLLOWS IN  ITS
          ENTIRETY:

          Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                    The  number  of  Shares  which  may  be  deemed  to  be
          beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are as follows:

          Shares Deemed to be            Nature of              Percentage
          Beneficially Owned By:         Ownership               of Class 

          (A)  PCB:

                 761,900        Sole Voting and Sole
                                Dispositive Power  (1)             4.79%


          (B)  Value Fund:

                 761,900        Shared Voting and Shared
                                Dispositive Power  (1)             4.79%


          (C)  Holdings:

                 761,900        Shared Voting and Shared
                                Dispositive Power  (2)             4.79%


          (D)  Cundill:

                 761,900        Shared Voting and Shared
                                Dispositive Power  (3)             4.79%

                                   

          (1)  Such Shares are owned by Value Fund, the investment
               portfolio of which entity is managed by PCB.  PCB has sole
               dispositive power and sole voting power under an agreement
               dated as of June 1, 1995.  The economic interest in such
               Shares is held by Value Fund.

          (2)  Holdings, because it owns a controlling portion of the
               outstanding stock of PCB, could be deemed to share the power
               to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such
               Shares.

          (3)  Cundill, because he owns a controlling portion of the
               outstanding stock of Holdings, which owns a controlling
               portion of the outstanding stock of PCB, could be deemed to
               share the power to vote and dispose or direct the
               disposition of such Shares.

          THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH IS HEREBY ADDED TO ITEM 5 IN ORDER TO
          UPDATE INFORMATION CONCERNING TRANSACTIONS IN THE SHARES:

               TRANSACTIONS
