Observations with the 1000 ft telescope of Arecibo Observatory were made toward 4C29.03 and OC 253, the two strongest small-diameter radio sources near the spiral galaxy M33. The upper limit on absorption toward 4C29.03 is τ < 0.009, leading to a lower limit on the gas temperature Ts > 20 K at a point ∼16 kpc from the center of M33. Hydrogen in the Milky Way produces absorption toward 4C29.03 which is similar to the absorption toward 3C48, ∼3° away. Toward OC 253 there is an H I emission feature in M33, containing 2.5 × 105 Msun of hydrogen. We speculate that the radio source OC 253 may be associated with M33, rather being a background source.
