Scientific paper

High dispersion IUE spectra of SMC stars are examined to search for evidence of a widespread distribution of highly ionized gas. For all of the stars, absorption by C IV and/or Si IV is found near 160 km s-1, and is attributed to nebular material. In addition, the stars show absorption by the high ion lines in the range 100 - 130 km s-1. This absorption might indicate the presence of global distributions of these ions, such as a hot phase of the interstellar medium or a halo-like region.
