Note that this is not the only meaning that "dash out" can have, although in the context you gave, it is the only one.  To "dash" is to run rapidly, and to "dash out" can mean to go out briefly for a short errand, as in "I am just dashing out to buy some coffee".

Dashed is also commonly used as smashed. I hear "dashed against the rocks" often when referring to shipwrecks.
