28d Stake sappers surrendered in key part of canal.I have i?T?S?I?E. The only word I can come up with is INTESTINE. Is this right? Can't see why.
26d Royal pair belonging to established church.
I have PRINCE. Can see the royal and the established church, but where is the pair?

stake = INTEREST, minus RE (sappers, royal engineers). +IN + E (musical key)

pair = PR belonging to = IN church = CE

Thanks for PRINCE.
