High resolution optical observations (FWHM ≡ 10-13 km s-1) of the interstellar gas towards the early-type stars HD 164794, HD 164816, and HD 165052 in the M8 Nebula are presented. A high velocity component VLSR = -26 km s-1 has been detected in all 3 stars' spectra. A line profile fitting analysis has been carried out on the observed Ca II and Na I absorption lines to determine cloud component column densities and to subsequently determine the physical and chemical conditions of the associated interstellar gas.
