CUSIP No.      461120 10 7
Page   6   of    9     Pages

           The Schedule 13D initially filed on September 23, 1993 by (i)
River Road International, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("RRI"),
(ii) River Road Capital Management, a Delaware general partnership, (iii)
River Road Partners, a Connecticut general partnership, and (iv) Mr. S.
Donald Sussman, relating to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share
(the "Shares"), of InterTAN, Inc. (the "Company"), is hereby amended as
follows:

Item 2.    Identity and Background.
               (a)   In October 1994, RRI was merged into Sunrise Partners,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the predecessor to Sunrise
Partners L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company  ("Sunrise"). 
Pursuant to the merger, the 9% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
August 30, 2000 (the "Debentures")  owned by RRI were transferred to
Sunrise.   The Debentures may be deemed to be beneficially owned by (i)
Sunrise, (ii) Dawn General Partner Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Dawn"),
(iii) Paloma Partners L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("PPC"), and (iv) Mr. Sussman, with respect to the Shares beneficially
owned by each of the entities named in (i) through (iii) above.
               The member-managers of Paloma Partners L.L.C. are Dawn and
PPC.  Mr. Sussman is the sole director, executive officer and stockholder
of Dawn.  The member-managers of PPC are Mr. Sussman and Sundown Corp., a
Delaware corporation ("Sundown").  Mr. Sussman is the sole director,
executive officer and stockholder of Sundown.
               (b)   The address of the principal business and principal
office of Sunrise, Dawn, Paloma Partners L.L.C., PPC and Sundown and the
business address of Mr. Sussman is 2 American Lane, Greenwich, Connecticut
06836.
               (c)   The principal business of Sunrise is that of a private
investment limited liability company engaged in the purchase and sale of
securities for investment for its own account.  The principal business of
Dawn is to serve as member-manager of Sunrise.  The principal business of
Paloma Partners L.L.C. is that of a private investment limited liability
company engaged in the purchase and sale of securities for investment for
its own account.  The principal business of PPC is to serve as a member-
manager of Paloma Partners L.L.C.  The principal business of Sundown is to
serve as a member-manager of PPC.
               (d)   None of Sunrise, Dawn, Paloma Partners L.L.C., PPC or
Sundown has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
               (e)   None of Sunrise, Dawn, Paloma Partners L.L.C., PPC or
Sundown has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree
or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
               (a)   As of the date hereof, Sunrise owns beneficially
$12,605,000 principal amount (Cdn.) of Debentures.  The Debentures are
convertible into approximately 1,496,604 Shares (118.731 Shares per $1,000
principal amount).  Assuming conversion of the Debentures, Sunrise would
own approximately 1,496,604 Shares constituting approximately 11.65% of
the outstanding Shares (based upon 12,845,901 Shares which would be
outstanding upon conversion of the Debentures).
               Sunrise, Dawn, Paloma Partners L.L.C. and Mr. Sussman own no
Shares or Debentures directly.  By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"),
Sunrise, Dawn, Paloma Partners L.L.C. and Mr. Sussman may be deemed to own
beneficially all of the Debentures owned by Sunrise and 1,496,604 Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, or approximately 11.65% of the
Shares outstanding.

                                SCHEDULE 13D

CUSIP No.      461120 10 7
Page   7   of    9     Pages

               The percentages used herein are calculated based upon the
11,349,297 Shares issued and outstanding at October 31, 1996 as stated by
the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 1996 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by the Company on November 14, 1996 (which is the most recent
document so filed by the Company).
               (b)   Sunrise has the power to vote and to dispose of the
Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by its
member-managers, Dawn and Paloma Partners L.L.C., in the case of Dawn,
acting through Mr. Sussman, and in the case of Paloma Partners L.L.C.,
acting through its member-manager PPC, that acts through Mr. Sussman or
Sundown, that, in turn, acts through Mr. Sussman.
               (c)    On February 1, 1997, Sunrise made an in-kind
distribution to a withdrawing member, that includes $2,212,000 principal
amount (Cdn.) of the Debentures.  No other transactions in the Debentures
or the Shares were effected by any member of the Group during such period.
               (d)   No person other than the respective owner referred to
herein is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from or proceeds of the sale of Shares.
Item 7.    Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.
               (a)   There is filed herewith as Exhibit 1 a written
agreement relating to the filing of joint acquisition statements as
required by Rule 13d-1(f)(1) of the Act.
