A population of 30 MeV runaway electrons in the TEXTOR tokamak is diagnosed by their synchrotron emission. During pellet injection a large fraction of the population is lost within 600 [mu]s. This rapid loss is attributed to stochastization of the magnetic field. The remaining runaways form a narrow, helical beam at the [ital q]=1 drift surface. The radial and poloidal diffusion of this beam is extremely slow, [ital D][lt]0.02 m[sup 2]/s. The fact that the beam survives the period of stochastic field shows that in the chaotic sea big magnetic islands must remain intact.
