Cossack Voloshin crossed the Dnieper River in search of work and was hired by Janissary Halil Ağa of Ochakov. Halil Ağa had purchased sheep on the Zaporozhian side and employed Voloshin as a shepherd to drive the herd to Ochakov. Halil Ağa mistreated Voloshin, beating him and depriving him of food. After receiving no payment for his services, the Cossack fled Ochakov, taking a horse and a janissary saber with him.
