          The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (the "Schedule

Stock" beneficially owned by First Reserve Corporation.

ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER

          This Schedule 13D is being filed by First Reserve Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("First Reserve"), and is intended to amend all prior
filings under Rule 13d-1 of First Reserve with respect to the Company.

          First Reserve's principal business is to act as the managing

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a)  The shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by First
Reserve Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("First Reserve") are directly
owned by the Funds in the numbers and percentages set forth below.  First
Reserve is the managing general partner of the Funds.  The executive officers
and directors of First Reserve may be deemed beneficial owners of the shares
held by First Reserve.  However, such executive officers and directors
disclaim such beneficial ownership.  In addition, certain executive officers
and directors of First Reserve may be deemed beneficial ownership of other
shares of Company Common Stock, as more fully described below.  Except as so
disclosed, such executive officers and directors of First Reserve disclaim
all beneficial ownership of Company Common Stock.
<PAGE>
          Of the 400,000 shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by
First Reserve, which represent 5.34% of the class of security based on the
number of shares of outstanding common stock as of May 6, 1997, 250,000 are
directly owned by AmGO and 150,000 are directly owned by AmGO II.  In
addition, the following executive officers and directors of First Reserve may
be deemed beneficial owners of Company Common Stock in the following amounts:
William E. Macaulay, 5,750 shares (excludes: (i) 5,000 shares of Company
Common Stock owned by the Anne R. Macaulay Trust 1 (the "A. Macaulay Trust");
(ii) 5,000 shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Elizabeth R. Macaulay
Trust 1 (the "E. Macaulay Trust"); and (iii) 15,000 shares of Company Common
Stock owned by Linda R. Macaulay, the wife of Mr. Macaulay, all of which
shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Macaulay and as to which
Mr. Macaulay disclaims beneficial ownership); John A. Hill, 5,750 shares and
David H.  Kennedy, 5,750 shares (in each case excluding the shares owned by
the Funds for which each of Messrs. Macaulay, Hill and Kennedy disclaim
beneficial ownership).  The foregoing executive officers and directors of
First Reserve disclaim beneficial ownership of any other shares of Company
Common Stock.  First Reserve disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the
shares beneficially owned by such executive officers and directors.

     (b)  First Reserve has the sole power to vote and to direct the
disposition of the 250,000 shares of Company Common Stock directly owned by
AmGO and the 150,000 shares of Company Common Stock owned by AmGO II.  In
addition, to the extent the executive officers and directors of First Reserve
may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of Company Common Stock as
disclosed in Item 5(a), such executive officers and directors would have sole
voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to such shares.

     (c)  During the last sixty days, the Funds have entered into the
following transactions regarding the Company Common Stock: on July 22, 1997,
AmGO sold 7500 shares of Common Stock and AmGO II sold 7500 shares of Common
Stock, in each case at a price of $43.625 per share. On July 23, 1997, AmGO
sold 42,500 shares of Common Stock and AmGO II sold 42,500 shares of Common
Stock, in each case at an average price of $42.7353 per share.  Each of these
sales were effected through brokers' transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Rule 144").  In addition, (i) on July
25, 1997, Linda Macaulay sold 6,400 shares of Common Stock, the E. Macaulay
Trust sold 2,000 shares of Common Stock and the A. Macaulay Trust sold 2,000
shares of Common Stock, in each case at a price of $43.00 per share in
brokers' transactions pursuant to Rule 144 and (ii) on August 4, 1997 Linda
Macaulay sold 3,129 shares of Common Stock, the E. Macaulay Trust sold 597
shares of Common Stock and the A. Macaulay Trust sold 2,513 shares of Common
Stock, in each case at a price of $51.25 per share in brokers' transactions
pursuant to Rule 144.  Except as disclosed above, within the knowledge of
First Reserve, no other transaction in shares of Common Stock were effected
by the executive officers, directors and controlling persons (if any) of such
persons, during the last sixty days.

     (d)  First Reserve is the managing general partner of the Funds.  In
this position, it has the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or
the proceeds of sale of, any securities beneficially owned by the Funds.  No
other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of sale of, any securities
beneficially owned by the Funds.
