  We present spectra of QSOs 1343+266 A B, covering Ly-beta to C~IV emission at
2\AA~resolution, and find further evidence that this system is not
gravitationally lensed. We see, however, a large number of Ly-alpha and some
C~IV absorption features common to both spectra. The frequency of C~IV lines in
common indicates that these absorbers have a radius close to the sightline
separation, $39~h^{-1}$kpc ($q_o=0.5$), implying a spatial number density of
these absorbers the same as current day $L>0.3L_*$ galaxies. Furthermore, the
velocity mismatch for C~IV systems indicates absorber masses in the range
$10^{11}~M_{\odot} < M < 10^{12}~M_{\odot}$. These results confirm that typical
galaxies cause QSO C~IV-line absorption. A complete line-list of metal-lines
and the Ly-alpha forest is presented
