IUE observations of the high luminosity Population II blue star BD plus 33 deg 2642 have been obtained at high resolution in the short wavelength range. The star lies at a distance of 8 kpc and has a galactic latitude plus 51 deg. The stellar spectrum shows the effect of mass loss in the highly ionized resonance lines of C IV, Si III, and Si IV. An upper limit for mass loss has been calculated to be M equals 4.7 x 10 to the -8th solar masses per year. The velocity of microturbulence of Fe III photospheric lines is 2.3 km/s. The interstellar lines are split into at least two components. No high ionization stages are found at the low velocity component; nor can they be detected in the higher velocity clouds, because of mixing with the corresponding stellar lines.
