                                  SCHEDULE 13D

                  This Amendment No. 3 amends and  supplements the Statement on
Schedule 13D, as previously  amended (this  "Statement"),  previously  filed by
Gotham  Partners,  L.P.,  a New York  limited  partnership  ("Gotham"),  Gotham
Partners II, L.P.,  a New York  limited  partnership  ("Gotham II" and together
with Gotham II, the "Funds"),  Manticore  Properties,  LLC, a Delaware  limited
liability company (the "Purchaser"),  wholly-owned by Gotham and Gotham II, and
Gotham  International  Advisors,  a Delaware limited liability company ("Gotham
Advisors"), relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, par
value $1.00 per share (the  "Common  Shares") and shares of  Cumulative  Voting
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  Series  B,  par  value  $1.00  per  share  (the
"Preferred  Shares" and together with the Common  Shares,  the "Shares") of Old
Stone  Corporation,  a Rhode Island  corporation (the  "Company").  Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective  meanings
ascribed to them in the Statement.

                  Except as specifically  provided  herein,  the Amendment does
not modify any of the information previously reported in the Statement.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following:

                  The  aggregate  purchase  price of the  Shares  purchased  by
Gotham International and reported in this Amendment No. 3 was $562,283.  All of
the funds required for these  purchases were obtained from the general funds of
Gotham International Ltd., a Cayman exempted company ("Gotham International").

Item 4.           Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

                  The  Reporting  Persons  acquired  the Shares for  investment
purposes to make a speculative investment in the outcome of the Company's legal
action against the U.S. government. In general, the Reporting Persons pursue an
investment  objective  that  seeks  capital  appreciation.   In  pursuing  this
investment   objective,   the  Reporting   Persons  analyze  and  evaluate  the
performance  of  securities  owned  by  them,  including  the  Shares,  and the
operations,  capital  structure  and markets of companies in which they invest,
including the Company,  on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation
on and discussions  with  knowledgeable  industry and market observers and with
representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management).

                  Each Reporting Person will continuously  assess the Company's
business,  financial  condition,  results of operations and prospects,  general
economic  conditions,  the  securities  markets  in  general  and those for the
Company's  securities in particular,  other  developments  and other investment
opportunities and may communicate with Company regarding these or other similar
or related matters.

<PAGE>



                  In addition, one or more of the Reporting Persons may acquire
additional  Shares or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some
of its  holdings of Shares.  Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors
including,  without  limitation,  current and anticipated future trading prices
for such Shares, the financial conditions,  results of operations and prospects
of the Company, alternative investment opportunity,  general economic financial
market and  industry  conditions,  and future  actions of the  Company  and its
management.


Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following:

                  Based on the Company's  Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Reg. No. 33-21440), dated January 26, 1989,
the Preferred  Shares are  convertible at the option of the holder for a period
of twenty  years  after  February  20,  1981 on the basis of one and  one-third
Common  Shares for each two  Preferred  Shares  during the first five years and
thereafter are convertible on the basis of one and one-third  Common Shares for
that number of Preferred Shares determined by dividing the per share book value
of the Common Shares as defined in the resolution creating the Preferred Shares
by $20.00 but in no event will the number of Preferred Shares exchanged for one
and one-third Common Shares be less than two shares.

                  On the basis of the foregoing,  the Preferred  Shares held by
the Reporting  Persons are  convertible  into Common Shares on the basis of two
Preferred  Shares for each one and  one-third  Common Share.  Accordingly,  the
297,018  Preferred  Shares owned by the Purchaser are convertible  into 198,012
Common Shares and the 11,800 Preferred Shares owned by Gotham International are
convertible into 7,867 Common Shares.

                  The  Purchaser  beneficially  owns  1,603,968  Common  Shares
(including the 198,012  Common Shares into which the Preferred  Shares owned by
the Purchaser are convertible) or 19.0% of the outstanding Common Shares (which
would be  outstanding  following such  conversion)  and 297,018 or 28.4% of the
outstanding  Preferred  Shares.  The sole power to vote or direct the voting of
and the power to dispose or direct the  disposition  of, such Shares is held by
the  Purchaser.  Gotham and Gotham II have  shared  power to vote or direct the
voting of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, such Shares as
described below.

                  Gotham  beneficially  owns an aggregate of 1,606,942 or 19.0%
of the outstanding Common Shares, of which (i) 2,974 Common Shares are directly
owned by Gotham,  and (ii)  1,603,968  Common  Shares are  indirectly  owned by
Gotham through the Purchaser.  Gotham beneficially owns an aggregate of 297,018
or 28.4% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, all of which are indirectly owned
by Gotham through the Purchaser.  Gotham II  beneficially  owns an aggregate of
1,603,994 or 19.0% of the  outstanding  Common  Shares,  of which (i) 26 Common
Shares are directly  owned by Gotham II, and (ii)  1,603,968  Common Shares are
indirectly  owned by Gotham II through the  Purchaser.  Gotham II  beneficially
owns an aggregate of 297,018 or 28.4% of the outstanding  Preferred Shares, all
of which are indirectly owned by Gotham II through the Purchaser.

                  Gotham  International  owns 152,200 Common Shares  (including
the 13,200  Common  Shares  into  which the  Preferred  Shares  owned by Gotham
International are convertible) or 1.84% of the outstanding Common Shares (which
would be outstanding  following such conversion) and 19,800 Preferred Shares or
1.89% of the outstanding Preferred Shares. The sole power to vote or direct the
voting of and the power to dispose or direct the  disposition of such Shares is
held by Gotham Advisors.

                  The  number  of  shares  beneficially  owned  by  each of the
Reporting Persons and the percentage of outstanding shares represented thereby,
have been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.  The  ownership of the  Reporting  Persons is based on
8,246,175  outstanding Common Shares and 1,046,914 outstanding Preferred Shares
of the Issuer as of September 30, 1997,  as reported in the Issuer's  Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1997.

                  (b) Pursuant to the Investment Management  Agreement,  Gotham
Advisors  currently  has the power to vote and to  dispose of all of the Common
Stock beneficially owned by Gotham International.

                  (c) The tables  below set forth  information  with respect to
all  purchases  and  sales of  Common  Stock  and  Preferred  Stock  by  Gotham
International  since  February 19, 1998. In each case,  the  transactions  were
effected through open-market purchases.
