Abstract
Visible and far ultraviolet high resolution spectra of the B2 binary star HD 218393 have been obtained at one day interval, shortly before the phase of maximum outwards velocity, adopting the period of 38.908 days. Both spectra show the existence of an extended atmosphere, accelerated outwards. The SiIV resonance lines show some indication of mass loss. With only one set of observations, the origin of the strong and wide (about 130 km/s FWHM) ultraviolet absorption lines of once ionized elements is difficult to determine.
