                                  Introduction
                                  ------------

         This  Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed in order to report
the  transfer of an aggregate of  1,814,611  shares of common  stock,  $1.00 par
value (the  "Common  Stock"),  of NYMAGIC,  Inc.,  a New York  corporation  (the
"Issuer"), from the Louise B. Tollefson Florida Intangible Tax Trust u/a 12/9/98
(the "FIT Trust") to the Louise B. Tollefson Revocable Trust dated 12/23/97 (the
"Revocable  Trust").  Louise B. Tollefson  ("Tollefson") is a beneficiary of the
FIT Trust and is both the sole Trustee and a beneficiary of the Revocable Trust.
On April 8, 1999,  Howard S. Tuthill III was appointed an additional  trustee of
the FIT Trust and was  delegated  sole power to vote the shares of Common  Stock
held by the FIT Trust.

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         There has been no change to this Item.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         This  Schedule is being filed by the FIT Trust and by each of Howard S.
Tuthill and Howard S. Tuthill III as co-trustees of the FIT Trust. The principal
business address of the FIT Trust and each of the co-trustees (collectively, the
"Reporting  Persons") is c/o Cummings & Lockwood,  Four Stamford Plaza, P.O. Box
120,  Stamford,  Connecticut  06904.  Both of the  co-trustees  are  partners at
Cummings & Lockwood, a law firm headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut.

         During the last five  years,  none of the  Reporting  Persons  has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding nor been the subject of 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 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         The  transaction  which  requires  the filing of this  Amendment  was a
transfer which was effected without consideration. On May 5, 1999, the FIT Trust
effected a transfer of an aggregate  of 1,814,611  shares of Common Stock to the
Revocable Trust.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The purpose of the  transfer of  1,814,611  shares of Common Stock from
the FIT  Trust to the  Revocable  Trust  was to  implement  certain  aspects  of
Tollefson's estate and tax planning.

         None of the  Reporting  Persons has any plans or proposals  which would
result in any of the  consequences  listed in paragraphs  (a) - (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.
