Translation of "Lay in store" in German

They knew well enough that the raftsmen were all down at the village laying in stores or having a spree, but still that was no excuse for their conducting this thing in an unpiratical way.
Sie wußten allerdings ganz gut, daß die Schiffer alle im Dorfe unten seien, um zu schlafen oder zu trinken, das war aber kein Grund für sie, diese Sache in nicht seeräubermäßiger Weise zu betreiben.
