Previously, the Herbig-Haro object M 16-HH1 has been shown to be collisionally ionized but to emit continuum at around 6670 A very similar to the atomic recombination from a radiatively ionized plasma. An ultraviolet spectrum showed a massive excess of continuum over that expected from recombination processes. The atomic continuum emission in the near infra-red has now been measured. This is found to be comparable with the atomic recombination continuum expected from a radiatively ionized plasma satisfying Menzel's Case B. The line spectrum and continuum between 3400 A and 6850 A for M 16-HH1, and a nearby area of M 16, have also been obtained. The ultraviolet spectrum is shown to be dominated by scattered starlight within M 16 even though the visible, blue continuum within M 16-HH1 is still excessive.
