The spectrum of the brightest part (HH 24A) of the complex Herbig-Haro object HH 24 is investigated in the short-wavelength (1300-1930 A) UV range. The UV spectrum is detected in three observations with exposure times of 560-680 min. The spectrum shows only a continuum or a quasi-continuum and is neither comparable to that of a typical high-excitation object like HH 1 or HH 2, nor to that of a low-excitation object like HH 43 or HH 47. Two of the three spectra show a surprisingly similar detailed wavelength structure. A study of the spatial distribution of the UV continuum emission shows that this distribution is considerably wider than that of the optical forbidden-line emission, e.g., the forbidden S II 6716/6731 lines.
