This paper reports on the application of a siphon flow model to the late stage of a surge observed in the UV radiation by the S055 experiment on board Skylab. The MgX λ625 and OVI λ1032 emissions from the density distributions occurring in flows which become supersonic at the top of the loop agree with the observations, indicating a pressure drop, along the loop, of a factor of 4 for the plasma emitting the OVI line, and of a factor of 2 for the plasma emitting the MgX line.
