Friends and family of Jean and Scott Adam -- avid sailors killed by pirates while on a round-the-world boating adventure, mourned their losses Wednesday. The Adams, along with fellow sailors Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle, were found dead after U.S. forces boarded their hijacked yacht around 1 a.m. yesterday.
         The 58-foot yacht, named the Quest, was being shadowed by the military after pirates took the ship off the coast of Oman on Friday.The forces responded after a RPG was fired at a U.S. Navy ship about 600 yards away. The RPG missed and the sound of gunfire could be heard on board the Quest, U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Mark Fox told reporters. Two pirates were found dead on board the Quest, he said. While clearing the vessel, U.S. forces killed two others, one with a knife, Fox said. Thirteen others were captured and detained along with the other two already on board the U.S. Navy ship. Nineteen pirates were involved altogether, he said.
